The author raises concerns over the lack of experts trained in the field of public health of a committee that wrote the report "Social Media and Adolescent Health," the evidence that was overlooked in the report, and how those from public health could have been able to improve the report. Topics include the appointment by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM) of only one expert to the committee and evidence that seemed overlooked by the report.
