💬 Claire Garnett presented on the motives, strategies and goals of alcohol reduction attempts among people drinking at risky levels.

With lead supervisor @clairevgarnett.bsky.social

This was a huge team effort: @melissaoldham.bsky.social Gemma Loebenberg, Larisa Dina, Emma Beard, @victimofmaths.bsky.social Robyn Burton, @fieldmatt.bsky.social Felix Greaves, Matt Hickman, @eileenkaner.bsky.social @susanmichie.bsky.social Marcus Munafo, Elena Pizzo and @jamiebrown.bsky.social

7️⃣ And last but not least, the health economic evaluation examining the cost-effectiveness of the Drink Less app and modelling the potential health, health economic and health inequality impact of a large-scale rollout of the app in England - www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

6️⃣ This article was the second part of the process evaluation focusing on the mechanisms of action, i.e. the psychological constructs and engagement with the intervention. This explored why and how the intervention was effective - www.nature.com/articles/s41...

5️⃣ This was the first part of the process evaluation, focusing on the acceptability of the two interventions: Drink Less app and NHS website. These qualitative interviews were semi-structured and conducted with a subsample of participants - www.jmir.org/2024/1/e42319

4️⃣ This article reported the main trial findings and established the effectiveness of the Drink Less app at reducing alcohol consumption among increasing and higher-risk adult drinkers among the general population in the UK - www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

3️⃣ This article used our remotely conducted trial as a case study to highlight and discuss (1) the issues with participant deception relating to financial compensation, and (2) the importance of rigorous data management to detect and address these issues - www.jmir.org/2023/1/e46523

2️⃣ Here we presented methodological insights from the trial in terms of recruitment and retention strategies, highlighting how different sources of remote recruitment compare in terms of cost-effectiveness, retention rates, data quality and demographic diversity - formative.jmir.org/2024/1/e51839

1️⃣ This was the protocol, outlining the background for the trial, the methods and the analysis plan - onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I presented (and got really useful feedback on) the first study as part of my NIHR fellowship on the motives for making alcohol reduction attempts, reasons not to, strategies used and goals set among adults who drink at risky levels in the UK.

I hope so as I’d love to share the link! Brilliant talk, thank you 🙏

I'm attending in person (really looking forward to it!) and got this message: "This is an in-person event at the City Hall and will not be streamed. There will be live BSL translation of the event and a transcription will be available afterwards." so I don't think there'll be a video recording of it
