Contrary to the claims of the authors, this study, in fact, finds little evidence that earlier social media time is associated with later mental health.  The effect sizes reported are, in fact, so small, as to likely be due to statistical noise, not real effects.  This is a common flaw of many correlational studies, particularly those with large samples such as this one.  On balance, this study provides better evidence that social media has no predictive relationship with later mental health than it does anything parents should worry about.  Further, pediatricians should not waste valuable time querying patients about social media, based on the extraordinarily weak statistical results from this study.
