Adolescent Online Safety

Adolescent Online Safety

  • Adolescent Online Safety involves balancing the risks versus opportunities teens (ages 13-17) encounter when they engage with others through networked technologies. Dr. Wisniewski’s research focuses on resilience-based approaches that help teach teens how to effectively cope with online risks, so that they can benefit from online engagement.
