Talking about online activity and mental health with young people in primary care: A qualitative interview study

This study investigates primary care practitioners' perspectives on discussing online activity and its impact on the mental health of young people aged 16-24. The authors found that while practitioners recognize both the positive and negative aspects of online activity, there is inconsistency in whether such discussions occur, influenced by factors like practitioners' confidence and understanding of the digital landscape. The study highlights the need for guidance and training to facilitate effective conversations about online behavior in primary care settings.
