这篇文章探讨了英国年度戒酒挑战“干一月”的快速增长的贡献者和注册的好处。证据来自四个来源：（一）通过干一月网站注册，（二）人口代表性样本的饮酒者的调查，（三）干一月登记的调查和（四）控制组的饮酒者谁想要改变他们的饮酒行为，但没有登记干一月的调查。数据显示，干燥的一月登记在4年内增加了15倍。参与者报告说，从干燥的一月收到的鼓励帮助他们避免饮酒。一月干旱登记者与对照组的比较表明，一月干旱登记减少了问题饮酒，提高了拒绝饮酒的能力。这四个数据来源表明，“社会传染”和“扩散”有助于提高对干旱一月的认识、吸引力和实践。
This article explores contributors to the rapid growth of the annual UK alcohol abstinence challenge 'Dry January' and the benefits of registration. Evidence from four sources is presented: (i) registrations via the Dry January website, (ii) surveys of population-representative samples of drinkers, (iii) surveys of Dry January registrants and (iv) surveys of a control group of drinkers who wanted to change to their drinking behaviour but had not registered for Dry January. The data revealed that Dry January registrations increased 15-fold in 4 years. Participants reported that encouragement received from Dry January helped them to avoid drinking. Comparisons of Dry January registrants to the control group suggest that registering for Dry January reduced problematic drinking and enhanced the capacity to refuse alcohol. The four sources of data suggest that 'social contagion' and 'diffusion' have aided the growth of the awareness, appeal and practice of Dry January.
