This document discusses how healthcare organizations can use new media technologies to improve adolescent health. It defines new media technologies as internet, websites, multimedia, video games and more. It describes how teens are increasingly using these technologies, especially mobile devices. Over 75% of teens have cell phones, and social media use is very common. The document then reviews how these technologies can be used to improve outcomes like immunization rates among youth, and encourages considering how to incorporate new media into healthcare work with adolescents.
The document summarizes research from the Pew Research Center on mobile device usage and social media usage among different generations. It finds that millennials heavily rely on mobile devices and social media in their daily lives more so than older generations. Specifically, 25% of smartphone owners, particularly those ages 18-29, use their smartphone as their primary means of accessing the internet. Millennials also lead other generations in frequent social media activities like updating their status daily and commenting on others' posts. The document concludes that social networks have become more influential in millennials' lives and will likely continue to play a large role as they age.
These four markets - Atlanta, Austin, San Francisco, and Washington DC - are consistently in the top ten markets for online media activities measured since 2002. However, the reasons behind their high rankings vary - the markets have different demographic profiles and their residents exhibit different motivations and behaviors online. While they share some qualities, each local market has its own complex influences that shape how its population engages with digital media.
A Pew Research Center survey found that:
- 35% of Americans ages 16 and older own tablet computers, up from 25% last year. More than half of those in households earning $75,000 or more own tablets.
- 24% own e-book readers, up from 19% last year. 38% of those in upper-income households now have e-readers.
- Tablet and e-reader ownership is highest among those with higher incomes and education levels. Women are also more likely than men to own e-readers.

This document summarizes research on children and parents' media use and attitudes in the UK. Some key findings include:
- Tablet ownership has more than doubled since 2012 and tablets are becoming very popular for children to use, especially for watching videos, playing games, and going online.
- Smartphone ownership among older children (ages 12-15) remains stable, while ownership of non-smartphones is declining for younger children (ages 8-11).
- Children are less likely to have televisions, radios, and game consoles in their bedrooms compared to previous years.
- More children are using a variety of devices like tablets and smartphones to access the internet, rather than just laptops/PCs
Amanda Lenhart's presentation to the New York Department of Health and Mental Hygiene talk presents an overview of Pew Internet project data on teens and social media, including teen tech tool ownership, communication patterns over social networks and mobile phones as well analysis of how young adults 18-29 seeking health information online.
This document summarizes an analysis of student and parent surveys conducted as part of an internet safety education program. It finds that while the vast majority of parents believe they have established rules for their children's internet usage and know what their children do online, many students report that their parents do not have rules or understand their internet activities. This "internet generation gap" exposes dangers as students may not be properly educated on internet safety risks. The document examines how internet predators have adapted their methods to target children online, and various approaches to internet safety education, highlighting the importance of active learning lessons to help students internalize safety concepts.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Michele Ybarra on the benefits and risks young people face online. It discusses preliminary findings from the Growing Up with Media survey showing that while the internet provides health information and social support, many youth are exposed to unwanted violent and sexual content online. Exposure to such content is associated with engaging in risky behaviors. The presentation also covers "sexting" behaviors among youth and legal/psychosocial consequences.
Young people spend around 5 hours per day engaged with media such as television, videos, computer games, music, books, computers, and the internet. While media consumption takes up a significant portion of their leisure time, young people generally prefer outdoor activities with friends unless they are bored or filling time between activities. When asked about ideal and boring days, activities like going to the cinema, seeing friends, and playing sports were preferred over watching television. Younger generations are mixing media in new ways as technology evolves, combining different mediums both for entertainment and information.
Teens have widespread access to digital technologies. The survey found that 87% of teens have access to a desktop or laptop computer, 81% have access to a gaming console, 73% have a smartphone, 58% have a tablet computer, and 30% have a basic cell phone. African American teens are most likely to have smartphone access. Girls are more likely than boys to use visual social media like Instagram and Snapchat, while boys are more likely to play video games.
This document summarizes the key findings of a Pew Research Center survey on Americans' news consumption preferences and habits. The survey finds that Americans still prefer watching news over reading or listening to it, with 47% preferring to watch. Of those who prefer watching, most (75%) get their news through television rather than online (20%). While online news consumption is rising, television remains the most popular platform overall, with 44% of Americans preferring TV for news. Younger Americans are more likely than older Americans to prefer getting news online regardless of their preferred format.
Hailey Anderson conducted primary research through an online survey that received 90 responses. The survey gathered information about the target market's demographics, buying habits, and social media usage to help create a marketing strategy. Secondary research looked at demographics of Lansing, Michigan, competitors, coupon usage trends, and effective advertising mediums like radio and television. The research found that radio reaches many women ages 35-65, while television and digital media are also influential in reaching the target market, especially women who spend significant time online.
New poll finds that social media is seen as the top threat to public imageBob Pickard
Signal Leadership Communication Inc., a social PR consultancy for executives dealing with digital disruption, commissioned Nanos Research to conduct a public opinion poll of 1,000 Canadians which has found that social media is seen as the medium most able to cause damage to public image. Eighty-four percent (84%) of respondents surveyed said that social media ‘can do a great deal of damage to the image of an individual or organization.’ Only 71% felt this was true of both online news and broadcast television, while just over half (52%) said it about print newspapers and just under half (48%) about radio.

This document summarizes findings from a Pew Research Center report on technology use among youth. It finds that while internet adoption has grown significantly across age groups, Latino youth and those from low-income households are still slightly less likely to use the internet. It also finds that 23% of teens have smartphones, and that age is the main factor in cell/smartphone ownership. Additionally, it reports that while social media use is widespread, African American and Latino teens are more likely to use Twitter, and girls and older teens are more active on social networks overall. Finally, it notes that most teens believe social media interactions are mostly kind, but witnessing online cruelty is still an issue for some.
In this talk to medical librarians (conference website: https://3bythesea.pbworks.com/Program), Lee Rainie covered how e-patients and their caregivers have become a force in the medical world. In addition, he looked at the many ways that e-patients are using the internet to research and respond to their health needs and to share their stories using social networking sites, blogs, Twitter, and other social media.
Lee also discussed how medical librarians can exploit Pew Internet’s tech-user typology to find new ways for engaging e-patients and their families.

This document summarizes research on teens' use of social media and communication technologies. It finds that most teens go online daily, own cell phones and music players, and use social media like Facebook to communicate with friends. Mobile phone ownership has increased dramatically in recent years. Teens prefer face-to-face communication but also use texting, social media messaging, and phone calls to stay in touch. Young adults age 18-31 also heavily use the internet, email, social media, and mobile phones, especially for texting. Many teens and young adults go online to research health topics.
Technology in its myriad of forms is pervasive in our daily lives. Women interact with technology differently than men and women across the generations use technology for different purposes. This talk will look at how women of all ages use technology to express themselves and engage with the world around them. We will explore the impact of computers, the Internet, mobile devices, video, and other technologies on the ways in which women form and express their identities from childhood through the senior years.
The document summarizes findings from the Pew Research Center's survey on teens' use of mobile devices and texting. Some key findings include:
- The median number of texts sent per day by teens has risen from 50 in 2009 to 60 in 2011, with older teens, boys, and black teens showing the largest increases.
- Texting is the dominant mode of daily communication for teens, exceeding phone calls, in-person socializing, and social media use. However, the frequency of voice calls between teens has declined.
- About one in four teens now own a smartphone, with ownership highest among older teens ages 14-17. Smartphone owners are more likely to engage with other mobile technologies like tablets.
Lee Rainie, Director of the Pew Research Center’s Internet Project, describes the project’s latest findings about how people use mobile devices and how they connect to libraries with those devices. He also discusses mobile activities that people would like their libraries to embrace.
This document summarizes research from a Pew Internet survey on teens' use of the internet and communication technologies. It finds that while many commonly held beliefs about teens and technology are exaggerated or untrue, social networking is increasingly popular among teens with 73% using sites like Facebook. However, not all teens have access, with digital divides still existing along socioeconomic lines. Overall, the report suggests teens' internet use is diverse and changing, with cell phones becoming a primary access point and content creation remaining steady but shifting platforms.
This document provides a summary of Kristen Purcell's presentation on teens and technology in 2012. Some key points:
- Teen internet and cell phone use remains high but has leveled off in recent years while increasing for older age groups. Fewer teens talk daily on cell phones but texting volume has increased.
- Most teens access the internet on a desktop/laptop rather than a cell phone. Location-based services are used by only 6% of teens overall.
- Differences exist among teen subgroups - older teens, those from higher income households, and Hispanic teens have higher rates of cell phone ownership and use.
The document summarizes a Pew Research Center report on non-internet users in the United States. It finds that as of 2013, 15% of American adults do not use the internet, with 34% citing lack of relevance and 32% citing difficulty of use as the top reasons for not going online. While most non-users do not want to start, over 60% say they would need assistance to do so. The group most likely to be offline is adults over age 65, with 44% overall and 62% of those born in 1936 or earlier not using the internet.
From Toys to Tools: Technology in the Classroom discusses integrating student cell phones and other technologies into K-12 classrooms. It notes that most students now have cell phones and use technologies like social media daily outside of school. Some schools are starting to allow educational uses of student cell phones with policies around safety, access, and appropriate use. While concerns remain around distraction and misuse, early experiences suggest cell phone integration can increase student participation and engagement when rules are set collaboratively. The document argues for a bottom-up approach and emphasizes digital citizenship training.
This document describes a survey conducted by a group of 4 students on smartphone usage among adolescents and young adults. The group developed a 20 question survey to understand how much respondents are willing to spend on phones and accessories. The survey was distributed to 100 respondents equally divided among adolescent males, adolescent females, young adult males, and young adult females on the campus of Taylor's University. The responses were analyzed to determine preferences for operating systems, phone brands, spending habits, and other phone usage patterns. The analysis found that Android and iOS were the most popular operating systems and Apple and Samsung were the most popular phone brands. On average, adolescents were willing to spend RM1780.50 on a phone while young adults were willing to spend RM14

This document describes a survey conducted by a group of students at Taylor's University on phone usage among adolescents and young adults. The group developed a 20 question survey to understand spending habits and how phones have become integral to lifestyle. They distributed surveys at the university library and between blocks on campus, collecting responses from 100 individuals aged 18-23. Preliminary analysis found that females were more likely to own portable chargers and Android and iOS were the most popular operating systems. The survey aimed to apply statistical knowledge and understand phone usage and spending patterns among youth.

Choice is everything an independent youth has, be it for their gadgets, food or entertainment. They live their lives muti-tasking with their studies, gadgets, internet and television amongst other things.
They try to seek their identity both online and offline through the various mediums available.
For youth the brand they associate with matters a lot more than a simple choice of necessity.
The following report showcases the various aspects of the youth population and attempts to establish an understanding of their preferences.
From Toys to Tools: Technology in the Classroom discusses integrating student cell phones into classroom learning. It notes that most students now have cell phones, which they are highly engaged with outside of school. The document recommends allowing respectful, supervised cell phone use for projects, discussions, research and collaboration to make learning more relevant and engaging for today's students. It provides examples of schools that have successfully implemented cell phone policies and projects. The summary highlights the key idea of leveraging students' own technologies to improve participation and outcomes.
- Technology use is ubiquitous among adolescents, with most using social media sites and sending over 100 texts per day on average. Cyberbullying and online harassment affect around 15-17% and 38% of youth respectively each year.
- While online victimization has not increased over time, text message harassment may be rising. Bullying in general causes distress for about one-third of victims. A minority of youth experience bullying across multiple platforms.
- Exposure to sexual content is more common on television and music than the internet. Less than 5% of youth have engaged in "sexting" via text messages in the past year, and this is related to other sexual behaviors and increased age.

A focus group of 14 teenagers between 13-18 years old discussed the best ways for a youth development organization (YDS) to share its message on social media. The group recommended using Facebook and Twitter to spread the word, with inspiring tweets posted no more than 3-12 times per day on Twitter. Instagram was suggested for posting before and after pictures, while YouTube was deemed best for training videos and PSAs.
The document reports on the results of a hookup evaluation survey. 38% of respondents reported an increase in safe sex knowledge and awareness, 28% reported changes to practice safer sex behaviors like using condoms, 17% reported being more aware of birth control options, and 17% reported getting tested for HIV/STDs. Some respondents specifically mentioned deciding to use condoms the first time having sex to avoid pregnancy, being more aware of how easily STDs can be transmitted, getting emergency contraception, and scheduling an STD test.
This document discusses how healthcare organizations can use new media technologies to better serve adolescents. It describes a text message reminder program for HPV vaccination in New York City that aimed to improve immunization rates. Successful new media strategies are targeted, encourage connection, are interactive, use multiple media, and are optimized for mobile use. An example is given of a teen health website that disseminates information on popular topics like nutrition and sexual health.
This document discusses how healthcare organizations are using new media technologies like websites, social media, videos, texting and apps to better serve adolescents. It reviews how these technologies have improved immunization rates and encourages considering incorporating them when working with youth. New media can deliver health interventions to large adolescent communities when access is ensured and youth guide the technologies' use.
Caring for adolescents with obesity in an urban clinicdrj4teenhealth
The document discusses caring for adolescents with obesity in an urban clinic. It provides guidance on discussing an adolescent's weight with them and their parents, with a focus on healthy living rather than dieting. Clinicians are advised to develop management plans for obesity with adolescents and their parents using diet and exercise recommendations, community programs, and new media technologies. Statistics on adolescent obesity rates in the U.S., Minnesota, and Hennepin County are also presented.
Use of new media technologies to improve adolescent healthdrj4teenhealth
The document discusses how new media technologies like the internet, apps, and mobile devices are used by adolescents. It notes that adolescent media use continues to increase and occurs across multiple devices simultaneously and on mobile phones in particular. Data is presented showing that over three-quarters of teens have cell phones, with older teens and those from higher-income families more likely to own smartphones. The document aims to describe how healthcare organizations can leverage new media technologies to better engage and serve adolescent patients.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

For instance, teens living in the lowest-earning households (under $30,000 per year) are just as likely as those
living in the highest-earning households ($75,000 or more) to own smartphones (39% vs. 43%). Older teens are
more likely than younger teens to have cell phones and those phones are more likely to be smartphones. Rural
teens are significantly less likely to have a smartphone than urban or suburban teens.

Good morning. I’m Julia Joseph-Di Caprio. I am the Chief of Pediatric at HCMC and I practice adolescent medicine primarily and some general pediatrics. It is my pleasure to talk present on the use of new media technologies to improve adolescent health. As I do this, I will use my experience in order to demonstrate how a novice to social media like me has begun to integrate new media technologies, actually social media in my practice. For the purposes of this conference, I will also show how new media technologies are being used to help with immunization efforts.
I had a number of experiences that led me to realize the potential power of new media technologies. First, I noticed over the past year or two that several of my patients were using apps to track their menses and remember to take their birth control like this one, iPeriod. This can be downloaded for free and tracks all aspects of menstrual cycles. This was initially available only for Apple devices, but iPeriod is now available for Android devices also.
So anyway, I noticed increased use of media technologies by my patients and then I had a bit of an epiphany while at a Wild game in December 2011. My daughter was home from school, sitting behind me, and she leaned over and said, “Harry tweeted me and Lil Wayne and Drake are at the Mall of America.” A little while later she leaned over and said, “Harry just tweeted me again-the Mall of America is on lock down.” What I was impressed with wasn’t that the story of Lil Wayne and Drake being at the Mall of America wasn’t true, although I was intrigued by the possibility of someone sending out incorrect information to bring a mob of teens to the MOA to loot and cause trouble, (the police have subsequently discounted this as being a planned event). What I was intrigued by the fast transit of information. Harry wasn’t even at the MOA, but he had received this information and passed it on to others, who told their friends, who then told their friends, and so on, and so on… By the way, this story on the Gawker website got over 187,000 likes.New media technologies are powerful tools for information dissemination and youth health serving providers are recognizing this. They are trying to, and at times are able to harness this power to improve adolescent health. Because of this, I decided to see what I could learn about this phenomenon and how it could be used in my Adolescent Medicine practice.
The objectives for my presentation are as followsDefine new media technologies and their use by adolescentsDescribe how healthcare organizations are using new media technologies to better serve adolescents (as I do this I will speak about some work with new technologies I am involved with)Review use of new media technologies to improve immunization ratesConsider incorporating new media technologies into your work with youthThroughout this presentation, I will reference examples of various new media that you may want to use with adolescents or just learn more about the organizations behind these different uses.

New media, versus “old media”, can be described as being:On-demandDigital, versus analog. It it electronic media that works on digital codesInteractive, participatoryDemocraticUnregulated contentMobile
What is meant by democratic, participatory, unregulated? Well here’s a bit of video of the Mall of America riots that someone captured, uploaded on You Tube and then was used by many mainstream and other media outlets on their websites.
Here’s an example of a media broadcast that used that You Tube video.
Here’s an example of how new media technologies, in this case the internet and a Google search, can be used to look for information about a health issues, in this case about the side effects of the HPV vaccine. I conducted a Google search for HPV vaccine side effects-here is the first page that came up. I decided to go to the site that seemed appealing, where there was the picture (I’m a sucker for visual content). I went to the site Mercola.com that was entitled HPV Vaccine Victim Sues Merck/Gardasil Dangers-Mercola. This was the video I found—next slide.
As you can see, new media is unregulated and participatory.
Luckily, that is not all that is out there about the HPV vaccine. This is more difficult to find, but is available. I have used it with some of the parents of the youth I serve. The California Department of Public Health commissioned a fotonovela company to produce a fotonovela to encourage Latina mothers of 11 and 12 year old girl to get their daughters vaccinated against HPV. This fotonovela is available on line. Fotonovelas are popular and effective methods to disseminate health information to some Latino populations.
Examples of new media technologies include:InternetWebsitesComputer multimediaVideo gamesCD-ROMS, DVDsNote: for the first 4 types of new media, mobile access is critical as I will discuss later.
Here are just a fewexamples of new media technologies that areavailable now. How many of these technologies are you familiar with? (click)It is this last image (click) that I think is the most exciting now-mobilephones, because this image illustrates the need for all platforms to be mobile.
Internet use for adolescents is high. Here is recent data from the Pew Research Center’s Internet and American Life Project that tracks new media technology use, particularly that of adolescents. The Pew Center did a nationally representative study in 2012 that included over 800 12-17 year olds. They found that internet use is high for all groups, and is highest among 12-17 year olds.
New media use by adolescent continues to increase. Total media use by 8-18 year olds increased by more than 2 hours from 2005-2009 to 8 ½ hours per day. Even “old” media use is by adolescents is via new media, for example watching movies on the computer, reading books on a Kindle. But, if you are wondering how teens can have so much media use—it is possible because they multitask. They may be texting while watching a movie on their computer; or, they are listening to music on their smartphone while playing video games. Increasingly important when thinking about what social media strategy to implement for the youth you serve, is to recognize that 20% of adolescent media use is mobile. This is because more than ¾’s of teens have cell phones, along with the fact that mobile internet use allows them a significant amount of privacy. Also important for organizations serving youth, is to recognize that here does not appear to be any digital disparity—minority youth, that is, Latino and African-American youth, have high rates of cell phone ownership at rates only slightly lower than those for Caucasian youth. Further, over 40% of black teens use their phones to go online compared to 35% of Latino youth and 20% of white youth. This does not mean that a youth once they have mobile phone access will have it consistently. I have noticed that youth purchase a certain amount of cell phone access and they may be without when it runs out until they can afford to buy more access.
This table illustrates that there is not much of a digital divide-black and Latino youth have high computer ownership (click). Studies have also shown that71% of the time youth will say that the computer they use most is shared with family members. The need for privacy and the need to communicate with friends is why mobile internet use is coveted by teens.
When looking at access to the internet there isn’t much of a disparity by ethnicity or SES either. All ethnicities have high internet access. Further, many youth use mobile devices. In fact, ¾’s of teens say that they access the internet on cell phones, tablets, and other mobile devices (click). You can see that black youth were more likely then other youth to say they access the internet mostly on a cell phone (click).
This shows the high cell phone ownership for all teens and the increasing smartphone ownership.
Here is a breakdown of cell phone and smartphone ownership by youth. You can see that 37% of 12-17 year olds have smartphones (click) and there is not much of a digital divide (click). Further, 50% of youth with smartphone access the internet primarily via their mobile device. By the way, a smartphone is a phone that is able to perform most of the functions of a computer. They usually have larger screens and have operating systems that can run various applications. Because smartphone use is not ubiquitous, web sites should be built on platforms that allow easy use on all cell phones.
Social media is digital technology that allows interaction and this is very appealing to teens. For example, teens use cell phones for texting more than talking. Only 14% of adolescents in 2011 said they talk on their cell phone daily, which was down from 30% in 2009, whereas 75%, up from 60%, report texting daily. Teens will make an average of 5 calls on their cell phone per day, whereas they send and receive an average of more than 60, up from 50 in 2009, text messages per day. Minority teens text the most. In terms of other social networks, 2/3’s of youth use online social networks and lower income teens are more likely to use these social networks.
Facebook is the most widely used social network by youth. The Pew Center reported that in 2012 94% of US teens are on Facebook. It will be interesting to see what happens now that many adults are on Facebook, will teens migrate away from it, maybe they’ll choose to use other tools, perhaps the microblogging sites Twitter and Tumblr more (click), or have increased use of photo sharing apps like Instagram or Snapchat(click). Teens become accomplished at decreasing their Facebook use if they have a lot of studying to do, or if they believe there is too much “drama” on Facebook. But like always, parents can and should monitor their teens usage, until they get too old to do that. But key is what has always been key-know your child’s friends, do things with your teen, and model the type of behavior you want to see in them.
In terms of other social networks, Twitter is a microblogging site. Users can send and read text-based posts of up to 140 characters or tweets. With Twitter users can have followers of one’s tweets, follow other’s tweets, or read what is being tweeted about various subjects. Twitter also allows messages to be sent directly to other’s on Twitter and users can also contribute to what is being tweeted on any topic. Twitter’s use by teens doubled from 2009 to 2011 and then again from 2011 to 2012. 26% of teens use Twitter. Instagram use by teens was measured at 11% in 2012.
Twitter’s use by teens doubled from 2009 to 2011 and then again from 2011 to 2012. 26% of teens use Twitter. Instagram use by teens was measured at 11% in 2012.
If you want to see what a Twitter page looks like, here is the Twitter page for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. This site has over 17,000 followers and sends out inspiring and helpful messages everyday.
Here’s my Twitter page. I am proud that I have 100 followers, finally. Although the reach of Twitter is beyond followers-it really depends on the terms you use.
This graphic is a somewhat old graphic that illustrates the complexity of social networks.
An online presence for a youth-serving health organization is important because a majority of teens report using the internet to search for health, dieting or fitness information. This slide shows data from the Pew Center Internet and American Life Project that found that almost 1 in 3 online teens search for health, dieting, or physical fitness information; 17% search for sensitive health information online.
Here is data from the Internet Sexuality Information Services, as it was previously known, it is now youth+tech+health, . This study used focus groups with 13-24 year olds, including youth of color, in Oakland, California and Chicago, Illinois in 2011, to figure out how urban youth of color use technology, especially as it might relate to getting information about sexual health. This study revealed that an online search was the first option when a young person had a question about sexual health-including birth control and sexually transmitted diseases. Interestingly, this study found that health professionals were still trusted sources of information, but the youth did express discomfort going to a doctor they or their family knew. They also viewed doctors as some who could help them solve their health problems, but the youth saw themselves as significant resources, especially since they could go online and get health information from around the world. The results from this study and the recent Pew study on mobile technologies, highlights how quickly technology and new media change occurs. When the ISIS study was done, very few of the participants reported using mobile technologies. This is much different from what is going on now. But the ISIS participants did say that receiving a birth control or appointment reminder via a text message would be acceptable to them.
