TL;DR: Digital alcohol interventions produced broadly similar outcomes in these studies and demonstrated that participants using a digital intervention drank approximately 23 g alcohol weekly less than participants who received no or minimal interventions at end of follow up (moderate-quality evidence).

TL;DR: Following the March 2020 Covid-19 lockdown, smokers and high-risk drinkers in England were more likely than before lockdown to report trying to quit smoking or reduce alcohol consumption, and rates of smoking cessation and use of remote cessation support were higher.

TL;DR: Only a minority of alcohol-related apps promoted health while the majority implicitly or explicitly promoted the use of alcohol.

TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to provide recommendations for development of models and theories that are informed by, and can inform, digital behavior change interventions based on discussions by international experts, including behavioral, computer, and health scientists and engineers.

TL;DR: In England, prevalence of high- risk drinking but not smoking has increased since the Covid-19 lockdown, and smokers and high-risk drinkers are more likely than before lockdown to report trying to quit smoking or reduce their alcohol consumption, and rates of smoking cessation are higher.
