Technology and Adolescent Mental Wellness (TAM)
The Technology & Adolescent Mental Wellness program (TAM) is driven by the following foundational question: How can technology support adolescent mental wellness?
The objectives of the TAM program are threefold.
First, we aim to develop community and foster ongoing collaboration among researchers, youth, clinical providers, educators, non-profit organizations, and those in industry, policy, and philanthropy.
Second, we aim to promote new research on adolescent technology use and mental wellness. This has included providing initial funding for 6 research projects, and creating the TAM Data Consortium in 2021 to make possible new research projects.
Our third aim is to disseminate research findings using both traditional, academic approaches and nontraditional, public-facing approaches.
