ScrollWell

Research & Data

This page turns social media data into relationships, not just raw counts. Instead of simply listing what appears most often, ScrollWell compares variables — like platform and sleep, platform and mental health impact, or academic performance and wellbeing — so users can actually see patterns and consequences.
Project Goal
Multiple perspectives
Bring together different sources so users get a fuller picture in one place.
Project Goal
Interactive visuals
Use charts that reveal relationships between variables, not just isolated totals.
Project Goal
Ongoing survey growth
Support future optional survey responses so the site can keep building new research.
Project Goal
Evidence-backed advice
Connect patterns from data to clear recommendations users can act on.

Platform differences matter

ScrollWell should make it obvious that not every app affects people in exactly the same way. Comparison-heavy platforms can produce different outcomes than tutorial or inspiration-based ones.

Sleep is one of the clearest pathways

A big part of the site’s story is that social media often impacts mental health indirectly through poor sleep, overstimulation, and lost time.

Research should feel explorable

The page is designed so users can search full tables, then jump into more visual, memorable relationship views.

Interactive Visualizations

These visuals focus on relationships between variables. Switch datasets and views to compare patterns like platform vs sleep, platform vs mental health impact, academic performance vs impact, usage vs sleep, birth year vs mental health, and state-based intensity.

Quick Read

Automatic highlights generated from the current relationship view.

Dataset 1

Social Media & Mental Health
This dataset is structured to support comparisons like platform vs sleep, usage vs impact, and academic performance vs mental health.
Click a header to sort by that column.

Dataset 2

Survey / Additional Research
This second dataset is designed for broader comparisons such as birth year vs mental-health effect, state vs reported impact, or any future survey relationships you add.
This section can later support your optional website survey too.
