Schoolwide phone bans show no impact on mental health, study finds
Original: Study: Schoolwide phone bans show no significant impact on mental health
A new study published in JAMA Network Open finds that schoolwide bans on smartphones show no significant impact on students' mental health. The findings challenge a widely adopted policy response to concerns about youth wellbeing and social media, and are prompting debate among educators, parents and researchers about whether phone bans are worth the disruption they cause in schools.
Why now: Many countries and schools have recently adopted phone bans, and this evidence questions whether the popular policy actually works.
