Binge Drinking, Social Networking Sites, and Mental Health

04 July 2016

This is an online questionnaire.

This study aims to learn more about alcohol use in females aged 18 to 24 years old. We are interested in how young females display alcohol in their pictures on social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and how this is related to the amount they drink. We are also interested in how mental health affects profile pictures on social networking sites and the amount of drinking.
