Abstract

Researchers have found that screen time was associated with alcohol, nicotine, and cannabis experimentation in young teens. With each additional hour spent on social media, texting, and video chatting, the odds of any substance experimentation went up. The study is based on data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study of the National Institutes of Health, which funded the research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
