This diversity may pose a risk factor for the development or perpetuation of harmful behaviors. Research has established a connection between social media use and increased health risk behaviors. This six-wave exploratory longitudinal study investigated the associations between active social media use, hazardous alcohol use, and problem gambling among adult social media users.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Data were collected via surveys in 6-month intervals, starting in March\u2013April 2021 (T1: N\u2009=\u20091530; Mage\u2009=\u200946.67; SD\u2009=\u200916.42; 50.33% male). Of the T1 respondents, 58.10% participated in T6 (n\u2009=\u2009889). Measures included the frequency of use of different social media platforms, the 3-item Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT-C), and the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI).

These results suggest an increase in hazardous alcohol consumption over time among the platforms\u2019 active users.
