Are #smartphones and #socialmedia harming a generation?

This is a hotly debated and often polarizing debate. So we surveyed over 120 experts on the topic to see where there was genuine consensus (or not), like experts have previous done for climate change.

I'm not sure it's ethical to be conducting associational studies for such socially important exposures as smartphone use in schools.

Either conduct a causal study or don't do anything. Demonstrating the presence or absence of non causal association is not helpful and may end up being misleading.
Smartphone bans in schools are not associated with better mental wellbeing or reduced screen-time out of school buff.ly/C8Zo4PQ

Thanks to everybody who chimed in!

I arrived at the conclusion that (1) there's a lot of interesting stuff about interactions and (2) the figure I was looking for does not exist.

So, I made it myself! Here's a simple illustration of how to control for confounding in interactions:>
