Article Synopsis
  • Many alcohol-industry-funded (AIF) organizations create eHealth tools that monitor alcohol consumption, but these tools often spread misinformation that could encourage increased drinking and hinder healthy behavior change.
  • A study evaluated 15 AIF tools from various countries against 10 independent, non-industry-funded tools, revealing that AIF tools provided less accurate information, omitted crucial health risks, and promoted pro-industry messages.
  • Findings indicated that AIF tools used fewer behavior change techniques and had design elements that could psychologically nudge users towards unhealthy drinking patterns, highlighting their role as potentially misleading "Dark Apps."
