Drink
Less: A free app to help people reduce their consumption of alcohol
Are
you interested in drinking less but not sure how to go about it?
Drink
Less is an app created by a team of psychologists at University College London
to help people reduce their consumption of alcohol. The app is easy to use and
feature-rich, with content derived from theory-based behaviour change
techniques and the best available evidence.
The
app allows you to:
·
Keep
track of your drinking and see how it changes over time
·
Set
goals for the targets that are important to you and get feedback on your
progress
·
Complete
a daily mood diary in order to better understand the effects of your hangover
·
Play
games designed to strengthen your resolve to drink less alcohol
·
Create
plans for dealing with situations when you may be tempted to drink excessively
·
Take
part in exercises designed to change your relationship with alcohol
This
is also part of an experiment designed to allow researchers to understand what
helps people to drink less. So downloading and using the app will not only
allow you to improve your health, it will also help many more people do the
same.
You
can use the app fully without taking part in our study and can opt-out at any
time.
Please
note, the app is currently only available for iPhones.
The development of
the app has been funded by the National Institute for Health Research School
for Public Health Research (NIHR SPHR), the UK Centre for Tobacco and Alcohol
Studies (UKCTAS) and the Society for the Study of Addiction.
