Understanding barriers to the use of alcohol-free and low-alcohol drinks to reduce alcohol consumption among individuals from lower socioeconomic backgrounds - Sheffield Addictions Research Group This project aims to shed light on why alcohol-free and low-alcohol drinks may not be as accessible or appealing to those from disadvantaged communities.

We're looking for people in Sheffield who regularly drink alcohol, experience financial difficulties and don't often drink no and low alcoholic drinks. As a thank you, you'll receive Β£20 Love2shop voucher for taking part.

Find out more about the project and how to take part: tinyurl.com/mwrtp9we

My students are running a study, asking women what they would find useful in alcohol resources when they're trying to conceive, pregnant, and mums of younger children. There are no restrictions based on how much or how little you drink! Please consider taking part. Thanks!
