Purpose of the study
Alcohol consumption among mid-life women aged 40-65 is a growing concern in the UK, with one in five now drinking at levels that increase future health harms. However, women’s drinking is a very under researched area. We invited you to take part in this research to help us to understand more about how to help people to make positive changes if that is something they would like to do.
The results
Our project will be running until the end of 2025. You can keep up to date with our findings by visiting our website.
