Incredibly proud to have worked on this important review, led by the one and only @mnoetel.
If exercise is medicine, we need to know how best to prescribe it.
Walking or jogging, yoga, and strength training seem to be the most effective exercises to ease depression, either alone or alongside established treatments such as psychotherapy and drugs, suggests NEW study @mnoetel bmj.com/content/384/bmj-2023…

New research has found parents can relax a bit about the amount of screen time their kids are getting, as its effects on children aren't as harmful as previously thought.

A major study of screen use found it’s not the screen itself that really matters, but what’s on it and the way kids use it.
As @tarensanders + colleagues (@ACUmedia, @UQ_News) found, TV can be educational – but social media likely harms mental health. theconversation.com/tv-can-b…

Screen time is the #1 health concern parents have about their kids, according to some polls. But, how bad is it really? @TarenSanders, the team and I summarise findings from 1,937,501 participants in @Nature Human Behaviour nature.com/articles/s41562-0… Brief: theconversation.com/tv-can-b…

TV can be educational but social media likely harms mental health: what 70 years of research tells us about children and screens theconversation.com/tv-can-b… via @ConversationEDU
1.9 million kids, 2500 primary studies, 102 meta-analysis, and now 1 umbrella review!
We find that screen time is a complex issue. Effect sizes are usually small, and content seems to matter most.
Screen time is linked to small differences in education and health outcomes among young people, according to an umbrella review of meta-analyses published today, from @TarenSanders, @lonsdale_c, @ACUmedia

Can we run from #depression? Yes, says our new analysis of 177 studies and 10,673 people. #Exercise seems as good as therapy and medication, especially for #Dance, #strength training, #running and #walking. Aim for >30mins per day. See our preprint: bit.ly/deprex_preprint
