I finished my PhD about 2 months ago, and I just want to share that:
*I spent >5 of 6yrs convinced that I was uniquely behind or lost or dumb
*I worked 50+hrs some weeks but 15 others
*Rest and hobbies helped my science
Struggling doesn't mean you don't belong.

@outcomesstar Hi, we wondered if you'd be keen to share and receive feedback on this during one of our public and patient involvement meetings? It seems like a good fit for the focus of our work. We have a meeting on 28th July, online, 2-4. Happy to DM to reach out with further details
English
@Cassie_Boness @BethCollinson_ Awesome. Are you happy to email @BethCollinson_, our research coordinator, and she can arrange a time for the two of you to connect bethcollinsonwork@gmail.com

@ShARRPresearch @BethCollinson_ That would be great! I’d be thrilled to connect

There is still one slot available at this meeting. Researchers, get involved. If you're planning or undertaking research in the #addiction #recovery field, get in touch with ShARRP. This is the kind of input your work should not miss out on!
ShARRP@ShARRPresearch
We have one slot available for a researcher to gain public and patient involvement #PPI at our next meeting on Thursday 28th July. Reach out if you're a drug and alcohol/ mental health and/ or gambling researcher as we may be able to support your work
English
@Cassie_Boness @BethCollinson_ Would love to chat more Cassie and see if we'd be able to support one another/ work together in any way. We transitioned to running online during the pandemic, but the beauty of this means we've been able to reach researchers and panel members outside of the UK 🙌

One tricky area though is whether the switch from drinking beer or cider to drinking spirits led to increased intoxication and then to increased violence.
CRUCIAL POINT: We found qualitative evidence of increased intoxication but only CONCERNS about increased violence.
English
ShARRP retweetledi
Please, please, please do not claim that MUP led to increased violence. We have no evidence of that. It's a legitimate concern. It is an important area for future research. But it is not a finding from our study.
English

Finding 4: There was little evidence of wider negative or harmful effects in areas including:
- Illicit drug use;
- Theft or other crime;
- Drinking non-beverage alcohol (e.g. mouthwash);
- Acute withdrawal symptoms.
English

So when we say 'NO CLEAR EVIDENCE of a reduction in consumption', we chose our words carefully. There is evidence and counter-evidence. We definitely can't conclude MUP reduced consumption among people drinking harmfully but we're also not able to conclude that it didn't.
English
ShARRP retweetledi
Finding 2: There was no clear evidence MUP reduced alcohol consumption or dependence severity in this group.
BUT
Remember we have evidence from other studies that MUP reduced alcohol sales, including among the highest purchasing households bmj.com/content/366/bm…

Also, remember harmful drinkers are ~5% of the Scottish population. MUP was targeted at this group.
Only around ~1% of the Scottish population are dependent on alcohol. MUP was not really targeting this group, who are better supported by other approaches (e.g. treatment)
