Testing an Interactive Media Use Journal for Adolescents

This study is testing a new tool called the Interactive Media Use Journal (IMUJ) for adolescents. The IMUJ is a 6-week journal designed to help young people track their social media use and think about how it affects their mental health. We want to see if this journal is easy to use (feasible) and if young people find it helpful (acceptable). We are looking for 50 participants between 13 and 18 years old who speak English, have internet access, and live in the United States. Success for this study means understanding what makes the journal difficult or easy to complete and how much participants like using it.

What's involved
Participants will use the Interactive Media Use Journal for 6 weeks and complete a post-journal survey up to 8 weeks after starting.
