Researcher of the Month: Is Heavy Gaming Detrimental to Young People's Mental Health and Wellbeing? Dr Simona Skripkauskaite Fills Us In

Should we worry if our teens spend hours a day gaming? New
research shows that for the majority of teens, heavy gaming is
not detrimental to their wellbeing and might even have a positive
relationship with it. However, it also shows that there are a
small number of teens for whom heavy gaming is associated with
poor wellbeing. Dr Simona Skripkauskaite, our Researcher of the
Month for February 2023, chats to us about her new study and what
these findings mean for parents.
