APA Recommendations for Healthy Teen Video Viewing

Science suggests multiple ways that video content, and the platforms that host it, can help or harm teens. Addressing these issues is the responsibility of numerous stakeholders, including (but not limited to) platforms and channels hosting and distributing video content, content creators, parents, caregivers, educators, policymakers, and technology industry professionals. This report offers a series of recommendations, some of which may be enacted immediately by parents, youth, or educators. Others will require more substantial change by video hosting platforms, content creators, policymakers, and/or technology professionals.
