Victor C. Strasburger, MD, is a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at the University of New Mexico School of Medicine and the author of the recent book, The Death of Childhood (Cambridge UK, Cambridge Scholars Press, 2020). He has written or co-written many of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ policy statements on children, adolescents, and the media.Marjorie Hogan, MD, is a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Minnesota and a recently retired pediatrician in Minneapolis. In addition to decades of experience in general pediatrics and adolescent medicine, she educated and wrote about the impact of media in child and teen health.

This volume of Friend or Foe: Tackling the Issues of Social Media is a wonderful and welcome addition to the literature on children and technology and it couldn’t come at a better time. How children from middle childhood through adolescence are using this very popular technology is the topic parents, pediatricians, policymakers and social scientists want to understand…and this volume is replete with the latest research findings on the topic. It is truly an informative and thoughtful collection of the latest research and I recommend it with great enthusiasm.
