Abstract
Volume I contains the research component of this thesis and consists of a systematic literature review, empirical research paper, and public dissemination document. The systematic review found that content on social networking sites can provide researchers with tentative information about the psychopathology and personality traits of the user. However, research displaying greater internal and external validity is required before this information could reliably inform the development of targeted online public health information or interventions. The research paper presents a study exploring the relationships between drinking identity, alcohol use, mental health symptoms, and alcohol content in social networking site pictures, in a community sample of young females. Drinking identity may be an important factor to consider in alcohol reduction and prevention efforts. The public dissemination document provides an accessible overview of the review and research paper.
