How Technology, the COVID-19 Pandemic, and Current Events Profoundly Affect Adolescents examines contemporary issues and events and their impact on the biological, psychological, and social domains in adolescents. The book contains 18 chapters including sleep, obesity, depression, suicidality, racism, LGBTQ, poverty, and war. With over 750 references cited, the work reviews the complexity of current adolescent problems and how they interrelate with one another.
It is an extraordinary time for adolescents. Social media has a profound positive and negative influence on adolescents, drugs of abuse are readily available, social and sexual mores are changing, discussion about many aspects of racism is more prominent than ever, and surveys indicate that the prevalence of mental illness in teens is higher than any previous time. How Technology, Social Media, and Current Events Profoundly Affect Adolescents examines eighteen contemporary issues and their impact on the biological, psychological, and social domains in adolescents. Using research and clinical studies, this book reviews a host of issues that includes sleep, obesity, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, substance use, suicidality/self-harm, cyberbullying, racism/discrimination, LGBTQ, gender dysphoria, poverty, divorce, bereavement, mortality, and more. In addition to these issues, the book provides an analysis of current events and their impact on adolescents, including the COVID pandemic and war in Ukraine.
With over 750 references cited, the book delivers a contemporary overview of major adolescent issues and how they relate to one another, including the impacts of war, technology, and the pandemic on youth. In addition, a broad overview of the major biopsychosocial issues facing adolescents is offered. There are multiple themes that include the importance of role modeling, monitoring, and talking with teens as well as the strong influence of parents, peers, and schools on adolescents.
