Description: Co-design an app whereby young people can track how much time they're spending on social media, control their screen time, and self-monitor their social media engagement. The monitoring app will provide data on people's social media use and highlight people's usage habits. A friendly 'usage minutes leaderboard' and rewards will be included in the monitoring app, to encourage friendly competition around healthy social media usage.

Things to Consider: trust and data security are big considerations. Young people need to trust the app and trust that their data is safe and secure. Some young people may also not want to join the app so recruitment is an important consideration

Description: This project aims to carry out long-term research on young people's social media engagement. Through in-person and online workshops, the study will explore how often young people come across harmful content on social media, and support young people to stay safe online.

Things to Consider: AI is changing social media landscape quickly which will impact long term research; people may not want to share their social media data, people may not share their real social media accounts with researchers, young people might not believe anything will change, important to run workshops in different settings and include incentives for young people taking part

Description: This project involves delivering an intervention in Bradford schools. Half of the included schools will have restrictions placed on how much young people can have access to their smartphones; the other schools will act as they normally do. The study looks to test how having/not having your smartphone impacts concentration levels in school.

Things to consider: people may stop taking part; people may lie, schools might be too busy

Description: Run after school clubs either in school or local community settings where as young people enter they msut leave their phone at reception. Young people are encouraged to detatch from their phones whilst at the club, and instead engage in interactive activites, e.g. sports, boardgames, creative activities. The research study explores how to best run these clubs (e.g. how many days per week works best?) and if/what level of attendance changes social media habits over the rest of the week (i.e. how often and for how long might you need to attend a phone free club to see a decrease in total smartphone use over a week).

Things to Consider: young people may drop out of the study, or may not want to sign up at all. The youth club activities need to be stimulating enough so young people don't think to reach for their phone. Older teens may be less likely to take part.

• Where do you see social media research going?

• What are you hoping to acheive from doing social media co-pro sessions?

• Do you work with CYP who are younger (age 13-14)?

• Will you be working with other young groups in the future?
