Posted 9/4/2008 WHAT: Technology is useful for developing social and communication skills, but can pose risks to adolescent health and safety.

To help parents and educators better understand and address "electronic aggression," (any kind of aggression perpetrated through technology which also includes any type of harassment or bullying), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is releasing two new resources. Each features:

A review of most current research
Examples to help parents and educators identify electronic aggression
Prevention tips for parents and caregivers
Preventions strategies for educators and educational policy makers
Prevention tactics for school districts, policy makers and parents
WHO: These resources were developed by CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, and the Adolescent Health Goal Team.

WHERE: Electronic Media and Youth Violence is available at <http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/dvp/electronic_aggression.htm>.
NOTE: Electronic Media and Youth Violence: A CDC Issue Brief for Educators and Caregivers was created in part from information in a special issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health. This journal supplement summarized the data from an expert panel meeting convened by CDC in September 2006. For more information, visit: <http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/dvp/electronic_aggression.htm>.
