We'll create short, anonymous stories to include in new alcohol resources tailored to women. Interviews will cover the roles alcohol has had in your life, the benefits and challenges of reducing or stopping drinking, what worked for you. Stories will give women a sense of community and empowerment.

Participants should be 18 years or older, live in the UK, and speak fluent English. Should take around 10-15 minutes. We want to get as diverse a sample a possible, so we can see what sorts of characteristics may affect how alcohol strength influences our decisions.

We're creating public health alcohol resources for women who are trying to conceive, pregnant, and mums of younger children. These are for anyone - no matter how much or little you drink. It's about providing clear, balanced information and support to women, so they can make their own decisions.
