Research by Prof. Shelley Craig is featured in a @nytimes article on how social media benefits LGBTQ youth.
“The language these kids are using to describe social media in my research is: ‘It’s my home,’ ‘It’s my family,’ ‘It’s kept me alive,’” she said: nytimes.com/2023/05/24/upsho…

Thanks for having me @YourMorning to discuss muscle-building supplement use among young people.
📢More action is needed to further regulate these supplements to ensure they are safe and to protect the health of young people in #Canada!
@UofT_FIFSW @UofT
New research says more Canadians are using muscle-building and weight-loss supplements - and no age gap is growing faster than adolescents and young people. At the same time, there is a growing body of evidence showing adverse side effects. @kyletganson at @UofT explains.
