University of Sussex

**** Due to the ongoing Covid-19 situation we will be making the decision as to whether we run this event in person on Tuesday 4th January 2022, on our return to work. We will inform all attendees of our decision. ****PLEASE NOTE: This is the same event that is being live-streamed but this is to attend the event in person.&#x27;Dry January&#x27; is an annual alcohol abstinence challenge that will be running for the 10th time in 2022. I first started exploring the impact of Dry January in 2014, and over the years I have explored the various effects on health, alcohol intake, and people&#x27;s feelings of control over their drinking.In this talk, I will provide an overview of my various studies of Dry January, highlighting the short- and longer-term benefits of taking part, and the impact of registering officially rather than going alone. I will also draw parallels with other large scale behaviour change campaigns.This lecture is part of the Brighton and Sussex Medical School&#x27;s Monthly Lecture Series, designed for secondary school and college students. This lecture series, running from October 2021 through to July 2022, provides a unique opportunity for students to learn more about different aspects of medicine, career pathways, and how to get into medicine.This talk will be held in person at the University of Sussex Medical Teaching Building. If government or university policy changes in regard to Covid-19 we will contact you and inform you. You will be provided with details of our Covid-19 guidelines in your confirmation email. If you have any questions about this event or the Monthly Lecture Series, please email the Outreach Team via outreach@bsms.ac.ukPlease note, we do not provide certificates of attendance for any of our online talks or lectures in the Monthly Lecture Series.
