Article Synopsis
- * Conducted over three 4-week periods, results showed a significant 9.7% decrease in overall beer sales during the intervention when pint sizes were removed, while wine sales increased by 7.2%.
- * Daily revenue from beer sales also fell by 5%, indicating that reducing serving sizes can impact not just consumption but also economic outcomes for premises.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate (1) definitions of self-isolation used during the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) measures used to quantify adherence and their reliability, validity, and acceptability; (3) rates of self-isolation adherence; and (4) factors associated with adherence.
Study Design: This was a systematic review following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses and Synthesis Without Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines (PROSPERO record CRD42022377820).
Methods: MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Embase, Web of Science, PsyArXiv, medRxiv, and grey literature sources were searched (1 January 2020 to 13 December 2022) using terms related to COVID-19, isolation, and adherence.
Background: Interventions that alter aspects of the physical environments in which unhealthy behaviours occur have the potential to change behaviour at scale, i.e., across populations, and thereby decrease the risk of several diseases.

Design: Parallel-groups randomised controlled trial.
Setting: Drinks were selected in a simulated online supermarket, before being purchased in an actual online supermarket.
Article Synopsis
- The study explored whether introducing a 2/3 pint serving size of beer and cider could help reduce overall alcohol consumption in licensed premises in England.
- Conducted across 22 locations, it used an ABA design to compare sales volumes during non-intervention and intervention periods, focusing on how the new serving size affected daily sales.
- Results showed no significant change in the volume of beer and cider sold after adding the smaller serving size, highlighting the need for further research, particularly on the impact of removing larger serving sizes.
