背景：暂时戒酒对生理有益。不太为人所知的是它对幸福感和一般自我效能（GSE）的影响，以及在戒酒挑战期间使用支持如何影响成功率。方法：在本研究中，4232名参与“一月戒酒”的成年人完成了一份基线问卷和一份为期1个月的随访问卷。关键的随访变量涉及受访者是否完成了戒断挑战，他们对Dry January提供的支持的使用，以及幸福感和GSE的变化。分析还检查了幸福感和GSE是否解释了完成Dry January的可能性的差异，而其他已知的变量与Dry January的成功尝试有关。结果：参与“一月戒酒”与所有受访者的幸福感和GSE的增加有关：这些变化在成功完成挑战的人中更大。在多变量分析中，更多地使用电子邮件支持与完成Dry January有显著的独立相关性。结论：越来越多的证据表明，通过有组织的戒酒挑战提供的支持与有害饮酒相关的信念的改变有关。然而，需要进一步的研究来帮助我们了解哪种形式的支持对不同的饮酒者最有效。
Background: Temporary alcohol abstinence conveys physiological benefits. Less well-known are its effects on well-being and general self-efficacy (GSE), and how use of support during alcohol abstinence challenges affects success rates. Methods: In this study, 4232 adults participating in 'Dry January' completed a baseline questionnaire and a 1-month follow-up questionnaire. Key follow-up variables related to whether respondents completed the abstinence challenge, their use of support provided by Dry January, and changes in well-being and GSE. Analyses also examined whether well-being and GSE explained variance in the likelihood of completing Dry January not accounted for by other variables known to be associated with successful attempts at Dry January. Results: Participation in Dry January was associated with increases in well-being and GSE among all respondents: these changes were larger among people who successfully completed the challenge. In multivariate analysis, greater use of email support was a significant independent correlate of completing Dry January. Conclusions: This paper adds to growing evidence that support provided through organised abstinence challenges is associated with changes in beliefs linked to harmful drinking. However, there is a need for further research to help us to understand what forms of support are most effective for different drinkers.
