Are you worried about your drinking?

Jessica from Henderson

We’re looking for 200 people to help us test a New Zealand version of the ‘Step Away’ app. So please let friends and family know about the study. The trial website can be found here: www.stepaway.nihi.auckland.ac.nz....
We’re looking for people aged 18 years or over who are resident in Auckland, have access to an iPhone, have had two or more occasions in the last 30 days where they have drunk six or more glasses of alcohol on one occasion, and want to reduce or stop drinking alcohol.
People who join the study will be randomly allocated to use one of two versions of the Step Away app. Both apps are designed to give feedback, tools, and support to reduce or stop drinking alcohol. The apps are free and have no in-app purchases.

This trial is being carried out by the National Institute for Health Innovation, University of Auckland. The trial is funded by the Health Research Council of New Zealand. The study has been approved by the Southern Health and Disability Ethics Committee (17/STH/94).

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
