Moderators of changes in smoking, drinking and quitting behaviour associated with the first COVID-19 lockdown in England

Sarah E. Jackson et al.

Summary: The first COVID-19 lockdown in England was associated with increased smoking prevalence among younger adults and increased high-risk drinking prevalence among all adults. Smoking cessation activity also increased: more younger smokers made quit attempts during lockdown and more smokers quit successfully. Socio-economic disparities in drinking behavior were evident: high-risk drinking increased more among women and those from less advantaged social grades (C2DE), but the rate of reduction attempts increased only among the more advantaged social grades (ABC1).

Association of the COVID-19 lockdown with smoking, drinking and attempts to quit in England: an analysis of 2019-20 data

Sarah E. Jackson et al.

Summary: 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. Rates of smoking cessation and use of remote cessation support were higher post-lockdown, while high-risk drinking prevalence increased and use of evidence-based support for alcohol reduction decreased without a compensatory increase in remote support.

Factors associated with drinking behaviour during COVID-19 social distancing and lockdown among adults in the UK

Claire Garnett et al.

Summary: During the lockdown in the UK, approximately a quarter of drinkers reported an increase in alcohol consumption and a quarter reported a decrease. Certain groups, such as younger individuals, females, those of higher socioeconomic status, people with anxiety disorders, and individuals stressed about finances or COVID-19, may require targeted support for alcohol reduction during lockdown.

Effect of the covid-19 pandemic in 2020 on life expectancy across populations in the USA and other high income countries: simulations of provisional mortality data

Steven H. Woolf et al.

Summary: The United States saw a significant decrease in life expectancy between 2018 and 2020, especially among Hispanic and non-Hispanic Black populations, widening the gap between the US and other high income nations. The disproportionate impact on racial and ethnic minority groups reflects longstanding policy choices and systemic racism.

Characterising the patterns of and factors associated with increased alcohol consumption since COVID-19 in a UK sample

Melissa Oldham et al.

Summary: The study found that a significant proportion of individuals in the UK reported drinking more frequently, consuming more units per drinking occasion, and engaging in more frequent heavy episodic drinking (HED) during the lockdown. Increased drinking frequency and unit consumption were associated with factors like beliefs about alcohol and health deteriorations, while increased HED was associated with psychological wellbeing deterioration and being furloughed. Gender differences were also detected, highlighting the need for targeted support in future lockdowns.
