| dc.description.abstract | Teens and young adults with mental health diagnoses utilize social media for information related to their diagnoses and experiences. The design and operationalization of social media platforms can be both helpful and detrimental to this population. TikTok requires that adolescents and young adults have and utilize digital literacy skills to navigate content. This scoping review is interested in exploring how teens and young adults utilize critical digital literacy skills when navigating mental health information on TikTok. As this is an emerging technology and area of study, a large gap in the literature was identified as an opportunity for future research. | |
