Abstract in brief

  • This study examined the relationship between daily digital technology use, including texting, and mental health issues like ADHD and conduct disorder in at-risk adolescents, finding that higher technology use was linked to worse symptoms.
  • Results showed that both the amount of time spent on digital devices and the number of texts sent were associated with increased attention problems and conduct issues on the same day.
  • Additionally, ongoing digital use and texting during the study period predicted poorer self-regulation and more conduct problems over time, suggesting a potential link between digital habits and mental health worsening in vulnerable teens.]
