Canadian teens are among the least likely in the world to report high levels of “problematic” social media use, according to a new study from McGill University.

The study, conducted by Zékai Lu, a PhD student in McGill’s department of sociology, looked at data from 171,500 adolescents across 41 countries, and compared their social media use and health indicators.
