摘要

使用多种来源，我们记录了15-24岁澳大利亚人心理健康的严重恶化，通过调查、自残住院和自杀死亡来衡量。这种转变始于2007-2010年左右，年轻女性的情况比年轻男性更糟。虽然有几个因素可能是罪魁祸首，但我们提出了六个证据，表明智能手机和社交媒体可能在损害澳大利亚年轻人的心理健康方面发挥了因果作用。

The Rise of Social Media and the Fall in Mental Well-Being Among Young Australians

Using multiple sources, we document a substantial worsening in the mental well-being of Australians aged 15–24 years, as measured by surveys, self-harm hospitalisations and suicide deaths. The shift began around 2007–2010 and is worse for young women than for young men. Although several factors could be to blame, we present six pieces of evidence suggesting that smartphones and social media may have played a causal role in damaging the mental health of young Australians.

Produced by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research, it is the leading journal of its kind in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. While it is of special interest to Australian academics, students, policy makers, and others interested in the Australian economy, the journal also considers matters of international interest.
