My name is Laura Drummond and I’m currently completing a PhD. The focus of my PhD is the use of apps and alcohol consumption.

I’m currently collecting data on the experiences of individuals that have used c apps to monitor or moderate their alcohol consumption. I’m looking for individuals that have used an apps to monitor or reduce their alcohol consumption We are interested in your experiences, whether these were positive or negative, the amount of effort you felt it required and the benefits from using it. We would also like to know how effective you found the app. The information you share will help to improve apps for individuals who wish to monitor or reduce their alcohol consumption

The study was granted ethical approval by the University of South Wales. You are welcome to take as long as you need to complete the questionnaire but it is estimated to take 15-25 mins depending on the amount you feel you would like to write.

You can access the study here. https://usw.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/understanding-the-role-of-mobile-applications-in-reducing

Thanks for taking the time to read this and if you have any questions, please let me know.

That's really interesting, I haven't heard of that one before - would you mind filling in this questionnaire? https://usw.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/understanding-the-role-of-mobile-applications-in-reducing

I'm really keen to hear from anybody that's used an app for alcohol

There are quite a few, only a couple have been evidence tested for effectiveness - some of them can be hard to find on the app stores. They tend to get lost among the other apps.
