Source: United Press International - Health NewsResearchers tracked 295 adults ages 18 to 24 who agreed to limit their social media use for seven days. Each participant was paid $150 to be in the study. For the study, these young adults shrunk their average screen time from just under two hours a day on social platforms down to about 30 minutes a day. The study, published Monday in JAMA Network Open, showed the biggest improvement in people who initially had more serious depression symptoms.
