This pilot project is focused on building community partnerships to develop a summer program for middle school students that aims to address the negative impacts of smartphones and social media on adolescent girls’ psychological well-being.

A focus group will meet over Zoom, consisting of 30-40 females ages 11-14, and will provide a team of curriculum developers (teachers, community partners, and CU Boulder undergraduate students) with insights into the most effective pedagogies and practices for improving students’ relationships with smartphones and social media. Assessment of the outcomes of the focus group during the 2021-2022 school year will be used to inform the curriculum design for the launch of the full Digital Wellness Program in summer of 2022.
