According to the 2017 Ontario Student Drug Use and Health Survey (OSDUHS), there have been increases in social media and technology use among Ontario students. Further, this article (released today) states that: "Five per cent of secondary school students reported symptoms suggesting they had a serious problem with use of technology".
This is the first time that the survey included items related to symptoms of problem technology use. Hopefully this sets a precedent for further research in this area.
