Do you drink alcohol or smoke and live in East Sussex?
East Sussex Alcohol Alliance and East Sussex Tobacco Partnership are collaborating with ICE, independent behaviour change experts to understand why people who live in East Sussex drink alcohol or smoke and if they wanted to cut down, what type of support would help.

If you are willing to help by taking part in a short 60-minute virtual focus group, please fill in this form to register your interest. Registering your interest takes 5 minutes.

We want to ensure that we speak to a range of people (for instance people from different areas of East Sussex), so this form includes some questions to find out more about you.

If you are selected to participate in this research, you will receive a £40 shopping voucher as a thank you.

You do not have to take part, it is voluntary.

You are able to withdraw your responses from this research for up to two weeks after your virtual interview / group.

Focus groups will be taking place during March and early April.
