[INTERVIEW] The Smart Phone Effect (with Dr. Alison Yeung)
About Dr. Alison Yeung
Dr. Alison Yeung is a Family Physician from Ontario, Canada who has been practising for over a decade. Over the course her career, Dr. Yeung has noticed an increase in visits relating to child and teen mental health. She has also noticed that kids are spending more time on devices, particularly social media, YouTube and video games. After diving into the research on this topic, she became very concerned with the way handheld devices are impacting the mental health of youth. She is seeking to educate parents, empower them to delay giving their children access to social media, and reduce harms caused by these devices. She has also worked with schools locally to help implement cell phone policies to reduce harms to learning.
