RURAL DIGITAL YOUTH RESILIENCY PROJECT

RESEARCH: We continued focus groups with high school and college-age students on their digital experiences, digital culture and exposure to online harms and continued multi-platform digital ethnography with rural community members. We continued to develop a moral injury framework to address young peoples exposure to online harms and susceptibility to online manipulation. We continued work with a national rural youth working group - Growing Rural Voters - sharing resources, research and collaborating on new research for addressing challenges facing rural youth. We served as an active member of the Coalition Against Online Violence, including in working groups focused Newsroom support and Research and Knowledge sharing. We continued disseminating research through presentations, briefings and workgroups for parents, educators, coaches, faith leaders, clinicians and other community members. (CONT. SCH. O34)
