Abstract
Alcohol places a significant burden on the National Health Service (NHS); yet, uptake of cost-effective approaches remains low. Digital interventions may overcome some barriers to delivery. The Drink Less app has evidence of being effective at supporting heavier drinkers to reduce their alcohol intake. In this study, we estimate the longer-term health impacts, cost-effectiveness, and health inequality impact of a large-scale rollout of the Drink Less app.
