“…An exposure to the Ravages campaign may have increased risk perception among women and then affected their behavioural intentions. The effectiveness of campaigns may also vary by age and social background [21,27,28]. With regard to socio-economic level, the information disseminated in prevention campaigns may be minimized [29,30] depending on the individual's cultural and social background.…”

Aims To evaluate the effectiveness of a French mass‐media campaign in raising knowledge of both long‐term alcohol‐related harms (LTH) and low‐risk drinking guidelines (LRDG), as well as in lowering alcohol consumption. Design An 8‐month longitudinal survey from February to October 2019, with three waves of on‐line data collection (T0 before the campaign, T1 just after it ended and T2 6 months after it ended). Setting France. Participants A total of 2538 adult drinkers (aged 18–75 years). Measurements The main outcomes’ variables were LTH knowledge (cancer, hypertension, brain haemorrhage), LRDG knowledge (two guidelines: ‘maximum of two drinks a day’ and ‘minimum of 2 days without alcohol per week’), intention to reduce alcohol consumption and self‐declared consumption with respect to the French LRDG. At T1, exposure to the campaign was measured using self‐reported campaign recall. Findings In T1, we observed significant positive interactions between exposure group based on campaign recall and survey waves on knowledge of (i) the ‘maximum two drinks a day’ guideline [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.32, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.08–1.62, P = 0.008], (ii) brain haemorrhage (aOR = 1.80, 95% CI = 1.44–2.25, P < 0.001) and (iii) hypertension (aOR = 1.41, 95% CI = 1.09–1.81, P = 0.008) risks. Campaign exposure was also associated with a significant decrease in at‐risk drinking in women (aOR = 0.67, 95% CI = 0.50–0.88, P = 0.004). No significant interaction was observed at T1 for the knowledge of the ‘minimum of 2 days without alcohol a week’ guideline, or of cancer risk. At T2, no significant interaction was observed for the main outcomes’ variables. Conclusions There appears to be an association between exposure to a 2019 French mass‐media campaign to raise knowledge of long‐term alcohol‐related harms and low‐risk drinking guidelines and reduce alcohol consumption and (i) improved knowledge of the ‘maximum two drinks per day guideline’, (ii) knowledge of the risks of hypertension and brain haemorrhage and (iii) a reduction in the proportion of people exceeding low‐risk drinking guidelines (in the general population only). These associations were only observed over the short term and, in some cases, only for certain segments of the population.

“…There are few studies assessing the level of knowledge of young people about the health effects of alcohol. The available literature which analysed respondents’ knowledge of alcohol focused on specific aspects, such as the energy value of alcoholic beverages [ 141 ], knowledge of the term “standard drink” [ 142 , 143 , 144 ] or their impact on health [ 30 , 145 ] and foetal development [ 146 ]. However, there are no studies that assess all these aspects in a single questionnaire.…”

Alcoholic beverages are widely consumed worldwide, especially by young adults. Their excessive consumption is associated with numerous health, social and financial damages. The level of knowledge of young adults about the health effects of consuming alcoholic beverages is low, and research in this area is conducted on small, unrepresentative groups. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the prevalence of alcoholic beverage consumption and the level of knowledge about the impact of ethyl alcohol on health in a group of people aged 18–35. The survey results indicate that the majority of respondents regularly consume alcoholic beverages (94.6%), and they are at a low risk of excessive consumption (p < 0.0001). The most frequently chosen alcoholic beverage in the studied group was beer, and the least chosen one was vodka. The main motive for reaching for alcoholic beverages was the desire to improve mood. Respondents did not indicate significant changes in alcohol consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic, but participants in the high-risk group more often indicated an increase in alcohol consumption (p = 0.0025). The analysis of the level of knowledge showed that the participants in the study had an average or low level of knowledge about the effects of ethanol on health, with no significant relationships between the study groups. The obtained results indicate a strong need for the continuous education of young people on the effects of the excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages on the body, with particular emphasis on the consequences of using alcohol as a mood-enhancing agent.

Awareness campaigns have been a hot topic for many psychological and physical illnesses, and utilizing awareness campaigns, many donations have been gathered to help those targeted by the awareness campaign. However, rare diseases have been left out of this category, making awareness campaigns more needed than ever in this overlooked field. This paper aims to understand the current situation of the awareness of rare diseases in China through online surveys, so as to determine whether it is necessary to carry out awareness campaigns and to put forward targeted suggestions. Through this study, it can be found that only 1 in every 200 people knew the answers to one of the survey questions, meaning that only 1 in every 200 people had systematically learned about rare diseases in the past. Other academic articles were reviewed to give recommendations to those hosting awareness campaigns to improve awareness campaign results.
