Rates of most distress measures peaked during the COVID years (2020-21). The proportion of teens repetitively self-harming did not return to pre-COVID levels, unlike other measures of distress.

Implications:
➡️ When a young person reports being bullied online, it’s important to look beyond the screen.
➡️To impact young people's mental health, we need to consider offline and online challenges + provide early support for anxiety + shape policies around social media use.

2️⃣ Cybervictimisation was linked to a range of #mentalhealth conditions, but anxiety disorder was the only one independently associated after accounting for family background and offline forms of victimisation.

🗺️ Cybervictimisation is a major public health issue worldwide. What if, beyond the screen, other challenges in their lives might also contribute to this risk?
We found:
1️⃣ 1 in 5 young people experienced cybervictimisation during adolescence, and many had also faced other types of victimisation.
