In addition, Mercader also presents a paper written by Anna Diaz, Joaquín Gairín and herself about “Teenagers internet access. A study about risks of technology abuse in high school students”, thus presenting a handbook elaborated by the EDO group from a study founded by Mapfre’s Foundation last 2014.
