Abstract
Recent research underscores the vital role social media can play in enhancing mental health awareness and encouraging help-seeking behaviors among youth. Nevertheless, the inherent risks of social media highlight the need for the careful creation of safe, effective content. This editorial outlines our strategy of using crowdsourcing platforms to develop and refine video interventions before launching a targeted Instagram campaign featuring these evidence-based videos. This process ensures the content is both beneficial and secure prior to public exposure. We emphasize the necessity of such meticulous preparation in leveraging social media to foster a supportive environment for adolescents seeking mental health help. Our approach and ongoing adjustments offer guidance for future initiatives aimed at promoting the well-being of young digital users.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry (JAACAP) is dedicated to advancing the field of child and adolescent psychiatry through the publication of original research and papers of theoretical, scientific, and clinical significance. Our primary focus is on the mental health of children, adolescents, and families.
We welcome unpublished manuscripts that explore various perspectives, ranging from genetic, epidemiological, neurobiological, and psychopathological research, to cognitive, behavioral, psychodynamic, and other psychotherapeutic investigations. We also encourage submissions that delve into parent-child, interpersonal, and family research, as well as clinical and empirical studies conducted in inpatient, outpatient, consultation-liaison, and school-based settings.
In addition to publishing research, we aim to promote the well-being of children and families by featuring scholarly papers on topics such as health policy, legislation, advocacy, culture, society, and service provision in relation to mental health.
At JAACAP, we strive to foster collaboration and dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and policy-makers in order to enhance our understanding and approach to child and adolescent mental health.
