Today's generation of adolescents and young adults have been labeled “digital natives” given that they have had access to digital technology since birth. In this review, we address 2 critical areas affecting adolescents' reproductive health and social media. First, we address the current state of the science across several “hot topic” areas of social media use, including body image and privacy concerns. Second, we shift to consider social media as a potential health education tool in the area of reproductive health. Throughout this review, we attend to gender differences for these topics, including differences between males and females as well as differences between cis and trans adolescents. Our goal is for this review to provide a timely update for providers caring for today's digital natives.

考虑到自出生以来就可以使用数字技术，今天的青少年和年轻人已被标记为“数字原住民”。在这篇综述中，我们探讨了影响青少年生殖健康和社交媒体的两个关键领域。首先，我们在社交媒体使用的几个“热门话题”领域中探讨了科学的现状，包括身体形象和隐私问题。第二，我们转向将社交媒体视为生殖健康领域的潜在健康教育工具。在整个审查过程中，我们关注这些主题的性别差异，包括男性和女性之间的差异以及顺式和反式青少年之间的差异。我们的目标是，此审查为关心当今数字原生代的提供商提供及时的更新。
