Action research on media use and digital profiling of young people in child protection care

Abstract

In the autumn of 2021, we examined the media use habits of young people living in state foster homes and foster care. We were primarily interested in the extent to which these young people are exposed to the risks of the digital world. In order to display the results, we created different digital profiles (persons) that clearly show the degree of risk. The thematic block contains the results and lessons learned from this multi-stage research. The first paper briefly summarizes the aims, circumstances, and basic hypotheses of the research.
