Evidence shows that clinicians are less likely to engage young women in shared decision-making about contraception, compared to older women. A more patient-centered approach to contraceptive counseling for youth could improve birth control satisfaction and continuation. In collaboration with Bedsider.org, we developed 'MyBirthControl', a tablet-based decision-support tool. MyBirthControl begins with interactive education about all contraception options in an engaging visual format and moves into a values-clarification quiz, producing personalized feedback. It ends with a printout detailing the user's questions and preferences, which can be used during clinical visits facilitating shared decision-making. MyBirthControl was developed iteratively, with feedback from diverse young women patient stakeholders. Our partner, Bedsider.org, plans to make MyBirthControl freely available to clinics across the country. The potential value of the tool encouraged us to conduct a randomized control trial to test its effect on patient-centered outcomes such as contraceptive continuation and contraceptive counseling experiences.

Reaching LGBTQ youth where they are: On their phones
The document discusses developing digital resources to support the health and well-being of LGBTQ youth. It summarizes focus groups and interviews with 92 LGBTQ youth ages 15-19. Key themes included social and emotional health concerns predominating over physical health issues. Youth felt isolated and wanted more support from both peers and parents. Coming out was a significant source of anxiety. Sex education resources did not address LGBTQ experiences. Youth relied on Google, YouTube, and social media for information and community. A digital resource is needed to reduce isolation and address emotional, social, and physical health concerns. Next steps proposed convening advisors and LGBTQ youth to develop and test initial digital tools.

The Effects of Twitter and Instagram on Teenagers
Today, sharing of private information has become the norm. Every person, in particular the young people update their statuses on a daily basis as they go about their activities. People use social media sites such as Instagram to share their photos of themselves of their day-to-day lives. In addition, Facebook is a platform that is used to share with people what was on their minds at that particular moment. On Twitter, young people share their tweets on various subjects as the favorite ones get more retweets. Through the various social media sites, individuals become famous for all the wrong reasons. These are the ones whose Facebook status updates are liked most, their tweets retweeted the most times as well as their photos on Instagram liked most.
Social media sites have a great influence on teenagers today and the impact continued to increase over the years. For instance, teenagers on Twitter had grown significantly from 16% to 24%. The typical teenager on Facebook has at least three hundred friends while a typical teenager on Twitter has more than seventy-eight followers. Research indicates that at present teenagers are not as enthusiastic about Facebook as they were in the past. There are more adults on Facebook; therefore, making it more boring and there is more drama and chances of clashing. An estimated 60% of teenagers on Facebook keep their profiles rather private and they report high levels of confidence in their quest to manage their settings.
Many parents often ask themselves what their children are always doing on the internet and in particular social media all day long. It is important for these parents to understand that social media is now a way of life. One of the greatest effects of social media is that it is addictive. It is said that people have to log in to Facebook at least five times a day. It has become such a way life and a way to communicate with the rest of the world that a person cannot stay away from social media. According to studies, at least 63% of American have to log on to Twitter on a daily basis. Further, 40% of Americans log on more than once a day, a fact that almost all teenagers now have a mobile phone with them. This makes it easier for them to access social media sites as often as possible. This is not positive since it means that they will get addicted.
Getting addicted to social media is like any other addiction because people are not in a position to interact with other people since they do not have time to waste. Social media starts in the most harmless way possible. It starts to act as a source of distraction as well as boredom relief. Comments and likes are a positive reinforcement for people who had posted statuses or photos making it difficult for the individuals to stop that which they are doing. This addiction is common such that researchers create a scale, which can measure this particula ...

Further, 40% of Americans log on more than once a day, a fact that almost all teenagers now have a mobile phone with them. This makes it easier for them to access social media sites as often as possible. This is not positive since it means that they will get addicted.
Getting addicted to social media is like any other addiction because people are not in a position to interact with other people since they do not have time to waste. Social media starts in the most harmless way possible. It starts to act as a source of distraction as well as boredom relief. Comments and likes are a positive reinforcement for people who had posted statuses or photos making it difficult for the individuals to stop that which they are doing. This addiction is common such that researchers create a scale, which can measure this particula ...

Data to Live By: Understanding the Social Media + Technology Landscape
Data to Live By: Understanding the Social Media + Technology LandscapePew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project
This document summarizes key findings from a Pew Research Center report on social media and technology use among adults and teens. Some of the main points include:
- 67% of online adults use social media, with Facebook being the dominant platform. Usage varies by age, with young people being the heaviest users.
- About 61% of Facebook users have taken a break from Facebook for several weeks or more at some point. Reasons for breaks include drama/oversharing and wanting to spend less time on social media.
- Teen social media use is high, with 81% using social media. However, some are finding Facebook less appealing and are using platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat more.Social Media for Parents
Social media allows for multi-directional interactions around online content. A social network specifically allows direct interactions between users on topics of mutual interest. People spend a significant amount of time on social media, with over 22% of online time spent on social networks like Facebook, which has over 500 million active users who are connected through on average 130 friends. It is important for parents to be aware of their children's social media use and online activities to keep them safe from potential dangers.
Health and Technology Megatrends for #SBM2019
This document discusses health trends related to technology and social media. It provides statistics on social media usage among various demographic groups in the U.S. A large percentage of teens and young adults use platforms like YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat. The document also finds that over 60% of teens and young adults in the U.S. have read about other people's health experiences online, and one-third have successfully connected with health peers online, with 91% finding it helpful. Examples of positive and negative experiences with social media in relation to health are provided from surveys.
The Effects of Twitter.docx
The Effects of Twitter and Instagram on Teenagers
1. Today, sharing of private information has become the norm. Every person, in particular the young people update their statuses on a daily basis as they go about their activities. People use social media sites such as Instagram to share their photos of themselves of their day-to-day lives. In addition, Facebook is a platform that is used to share with people what was on their minds at that particular moment. On Twitter, young people share their tweets on various subjects as the favorite ones get more retweets. Through the various social media sites, individuals become famous for all the wrong reasons. These are the ones whose Facebook status updates are liked most, their tweets retweeted the most times as well as their photos on Instagram liked most.
2. Social media sites have a great influence on teenagers today and the impact continued to increase over the years. For instance, teenagers on Twitter had grown significantly from 16% to 24%. The typical teenager on Facebook has at least three hundred friends while a typical teenager on Twitter has more than seventy-eight followers. Research indicates that at present teenagers are not as enthusiastic about Facebook as they were in the past. There are more adults on Facebook; therefore, making it more boring and there is more drama and chances of clashing. An estimated 60% of teenagers on Facebook keep their profiles rather private and they report high levels of confidence in their quest to manage their settings.
3. Many parents often ask themselves what their children are always doing on the internet and in particular social media all day long. It is important for these parents to understand that social media is now a way of life. One of the greatest effects of social media is that it is addictive. It is said that people have to log in to Facebook at least five times a day. It has become such a way life and a way to communicate with the rest of the world that a person cannot stay away from social media. According to studies, at least 63% of American have to log on to Twitter on a daily basis. Further, 40% of Americans log on more than once a day, a fact that almost all teenagers now have a mobile phone with them. This makes it easier for them to access social media sites as often as possible. This is not positive since it means that they will get addicted.

Case study
This document discusses social media addiction. It begins by introducing the topic and defining internet and social media addiction. It then reviews literature on how parenting styles can influence social media addiction in adolescents. Stricter parenting that limits screen time is linked to lower risk of addiction. The document also discusses how habitual social media use can lead to addiction over time. Finally, it explores the personal and professional consequences of excessive social media use, such as decreased work performance and increased stress.

urge to view Internet pornography. Accurate statistics re-
garding the use of Internet pornography are difficult to
locate; however, available research demonstrates prolific
numbers of pornographic Internet sites. According to
available data, "sex" is the number one search topic on
the Internet, with at least 4.2 million reported porno-
graphic websites currently available, signaling a fourfold
increase since 2003. Daily, there are 68 million porno-
graphic search engine requests.' An estimated 40 million
adults in the U.S. regularly view Internet pornography,
10 percent of whom admit to having an addiction to
Internet pornography. While males constitute the ma-
jority of users, one in three women view pornography.^
Researchers now predict that millions of Americans are
addicted to Internet pornography. In fact, sources assert
that the number of users of Internet pornography has
skyrocketed, making Internet pornography the foremost
addiction in the world.^
Studies also indicate that boys aged 12 to 17 are
the largest consumers of Internet pornography. This
is because of hormonal changes during puberty that
enhance sexual arousal and curiosity and contribute to
interest in sexual exploration. Recent surveys report that

inexperienced persons, especially males, find it easier to
engage in sexual behavior through Internet pornography
than to risk rejection in the context of a face-to-face en-
counter with a real person.
The expansive reach of Internet pornography has
also touched a very young demographic. Notably, the
average age of children who are first exposed to Internet
pornography is 11 years old.^ Exposure to Internet por-
nography in children four to five years old is also being
reported. In his pastoral letter. Bought at a Creat Price,
Bishop Paul Loverde writes:
The [pornography] industry preys on the most

Disadvantages of Social Networking
Social networking sites allow users to create personal profiles and connect with others. Some key early social networks mentioned include Yahoo (1995), Google (1998), LinkedIn (2002), Facebook (2004), and Twitter (2006). Facebook currently has over 600 million users and generates $800 million in revenue annually. While social networks allow connection and sharing, some potential downsides include addiction, distraction from real-world relationships, exposure to bullying, fake profiles, and spread of viruses. Experts recommend moderation and parental guidance in social media use.
DR JON GOLDIN - THE RISKS AND BENEFITS OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON THE MENTAL HEALTH O...
The Internet and social media now impact almost every aspect of people’s lives and have altered social interactions and ways of being. Many young people use the Internet and social media in a way that is detrimental to their mental health, with the potential of developing symptoms traditionally associated with addiction. Despite this desperation to use the Internet and social media, a recent study showed that the more time young people spend on social media, the less happy they feel about everything except their friendships. More speci cally, they felt less happy about school and school work, their appearance, their family, and life in general. It appears that girls are more a ected than boys. It is important however that we don’t blame the medium but the message. There are positive messages out there on social media, which can help young people with mental health di culties but also some very harmful messages and practices can be found online too. This talk will explore ‘The risks and bene ts of social media on the mental health of adolescents’.
Sexual promiscuity
This document discusses research on sexual promiscuity. It begins by defining promiscuity as having casual sex frequently with different partners. It then discusses the history of promiscuity in America beginning in the 1960s on college campuses. Promiscuity has grown with technology allowing easy communication and porn access online. Research shows teens and college students are often promiscuous due to lack of purpose and low self-esteem. The internet influences promiscuity by enabling online relationships, widespread porn access, and a large pool of potential partners. While some experimentation is normal, teens often do not consider the risks of promiscuity like disease and unwanted pregnancy. Parents need to communicate with teens about sexuality. Culture also influences levels of
The future of_social_addictions
The document discusses social media addiction and its future implications. It defines addiction and describes two forms: mental and physical. Warning signs of media addiction are outlined. While social media can provide a sense of belonging, excessive use can negatively impact social life, relationships, and physical/mental health. Long-term, reduced human contact from overuse of social media could increase health risks like heart disease and impair mental performance. Breaking an addiction requires individual effort through counseling, therapy, finding alternative activities, and setting goals to reduce usage.
Similar to Facebook is more addictive than crack (20)

zkStudyClub - LatticeFold: A Lattice-based Folding Scheme and its Application...
Folding is a recent technique for building efficient recursive SNARKs. Several elegant folding protocols have been proposed, such as Nova, Supernova, Hypernova, Protostar, and others. However, all of them rely on an additively homomorphic commitment scheme based on discrete log, and are therefore not post-quantum secure. In this work we present LatticeFold, the first lattice-based folding protocol based on the Module SIS problem. This folding protocol naturally leads to an efficient recursive lattice-based SNARK and an efficient PCD scheme. LatticeFold supports folding low-degree relations, such as R1CS, as well as high-degree relations, such as CCS. The key challenge is to construct a secure folding protocol that works with the Ajtai commitment scheme. The difficulty, is ensuring that extracted witnesses are low norm through many rounds of folding. We present a novel technique using the sumcheck protocol to ensure that extracted witnesses are always low norm no matter how many rounds of folding are used. Our evaluation of the final proof system suggests that it is as performant as Hypernova, while providing post-quantum security.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
