A study conducted by researchers from the UCL Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group, UCL Department of Behavioural Science and Health and UCL Centre for Behaviour Change. Contact: utarg.covid@ucl.ac.uk

AIMS

We want to understand physical activity and diet, as well as the use and changes to the use of tobacco

(e.g. cigarettes), nicotine (e.g. e-cigarettes) and alcohol consumption during the coronavirus  pandemic (Covid-19). We also want to understand how we could create or provide support that may help people to make changes to their behaviours and therefore their health.

The HEBECO study is conducted by researchers from the UCL Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group and the Research Department of Behavioural Science and Health 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

INVOLVEMENT

UCL Tobacco and Alcohol Research Group

The UCL Tobacco and Research Group (UTARG) aims to advance and integrate population and individual  approaches to quitting smoking and reducing alcohol consumption by providing insights into population-wide influences on smoking and alcohol consumption and advancing the scientific foundation, and further the development of interventions aimed at promoting smoking cessation and helping people reduce their alcohol consumption.

Behavioural Science and Health

The Research Department of Behavioural Science and Health is dedicated to research on how human behaviour impacts health and health outcomes. It carries out cutting-edge research and provides high quality teaching into the impact of behavioural and emotional processes on disease aetiology and health outcomes, and to implement this knowledge to reduce disease risk and improve the health of the population.
