Summary
Our environment shapes our behaviour. Understanding this relationship can uncover novel ways to encourage people to live healthier lives. This project will use choice architecture frameworks (process of designing environments to present choices in different ways) to explore how spaces that provide alcohol (e.g., pubs, restaurants) may be adapted to encourage switching from alcohol consumption to no/low-alcoholic alternatives. This will include literature scoping, discussion with stakeholders (e.g., patrons, publicans), experimental research and field trials, with a primary aim of advising policy and practice on how alcohol-providing premises can be best designed to promote positive population health.
