Congratulations to Dr Hannah Jarman who was awarded a $527,165 ARC Discovery Early Career Researcher Award for her project ‘Evaluating social media impacts on wellbeing to inform solutions’.

This project aims to advance understanding of social media’s impact on the wellbeing of young people. Using a novel, comprehensive framework, it will generate new knowledge on who is affected, as well as when and how social media influences wellbeing, identifying key factors at multiple levels.

These insights will help connect research, policy, and industry, guiding evidence-based strategies for individuals, families and decision-makers. Ultimately, this work will create a clear roadmap for safer and healthier social media use, benefiting young people, policymakers, tech companies and consumers worldwide.
