Dry January is a one-month alcohol abstinence challenge for the general population running since 2013 in the United Kingdom, and 2020 in France. Dry January has gained increasing popularity among the public, but studies assessing the individual characteristics associated with awareness and participation remain sparse.
Using quota sampling, a representative sample of 5,000 French adults completed an online cross-sectional survey between 8 and 17th January 2024. Chi-square tests and binary logistic regressions were used to explore demographic and alcohol-related characteristics associated with awareness of the Dry January campaign as well as participation.
Among 4,075 past-year alcohol users, 2,468 (61%) were aware of the "Dry January" campaign, of whom 497 (20%) were participants (12% of all alcohol users). Extrapolated to the entire adult French population, this corresponds to an estimated 4.5 million people participating in the Dry January 2024. Awareness was comparable between genders and across age groups, but was greater among individuals with higher occupational status, and lower among those living in Eastern regions of France. Individuals aware of the campaign were more likely to self-evaluate their drinking as "at risk" and to report high-risk consumption. Participation rates did not differ by gender, occupational status, or region but decreased with age. Compared to non-participants, Dry January participants were more likely to self-identify their drinking as at-risk, to be concerned about health-related effects of alcohol, to be concerned about their control (or lack thereof) over drinking, and to report hazardous use or possible alcohol use disorder. However, no evidence was found for an association between high-risk consumption based on AUDIT-C and participation. Among participants, aiming for reduction (vs. abstinence) and official registration (vs. unofficial participation), were associated with worsened alcohol-related measures.
This study indicates a stable level of awareness, but encouraging participation in Dry January in France. The results also confirm that temporary alcohol abstinence campaigns primarily attract high-risk drinkers and individuals reporting harmful consequences related to alcohol.
“一月戒酒”是一项面向普通大众的为期一个月的戒酒挑战活动，自2013年起在英国开展，2020年起在法国开展。“一月戒酒”在公众中越来越受欢迎，但评估与知晓度和参与度相关的个体特征的研究仍然很少。
采用配额抽样法，2024年1月8日至17日期间，5000名法国成年人的代表性样本完成了一项在线横断面调查。使用卡方检验和二元逻辑回归来探讨与“一月戒酒”活动知晓度以及参与度相关的人口统计学和酒精相关特征。
在过去一年中有饮酒行为的4075人中，2468人（61%）知晓“一月戒酒”活动，其中497人（20%）参与了该活动（占所有饮酒者的12%）。推算至整个法国成年人口，这相当于估计有450万人参与了2024年的“一月戒酒”活动。知晓度在性别和年龄组之间相当，但在职业地位较高的个体中更高，而在法国东部地区居住的个体中较低。知晓该活动的个体更有可能自我评估其饮酒行为“有风险”并报告高风险饮酒量。参与率在性别、职业地位或地区方面没有差异，但随年龄增长而下降。与未参与者相比，“一月戒酒”参与者更有可能自我认定其饮酒行为有风险，更关注酒精对健康的影响，更关注自己对饮酒的控制（或缺乏控制），并报告有害饮酒行为或可能的酒精使用障碍。然而，未发现基于AUDIT-C的高风险饮酒量与参与度之间存在关联。在参与者中，目标是减少饮酒量（而非戒酒）以及官方注册参与（而非非官方参与）与更差的酒精相关指标相关。
本研究表明法国对“一月戒酒”活动的知晓度处于稳定水平，但参与度有待提高。研究结果还证实，临时戒酒活动主要吸引高风险饮酒者以及报告与酒精相关有害后果的个体。
