  • Mary Madden, Adjunct Faculty, Communication, Culture & Technology (CCT) program, Georgetown University; Affiliate, Data & Society Research Institute; Principal, Mary Madden Research + Consulting
  • Shreya Singh Hernández, Youth and Tech Safety Lead, Aspen Digital, Aspen Institute

The questionnaire also benefited from feedback from teen reviewers Adam Horowitz and Nate Horowitz.

The feedback shared for this project is solely that of the reviewers and does not express the views, policies or positions of their respective employers.
