so partly put it down to that i think you know it's something you see in clinical trials people just do better hey because they they've gone through this whole rigmarole process with this really strong intention to stop you know so they've been through quite a lot of hurdles that the trial was pretty demanding so if you stuck with it we also had things which i hadn't mentioned like um we had a scram i don't know if you've ever seen them they're using criminal justice um more lindsay lohan had to wear one when she had some duis it's basically like a tag that you put around your ankle and measures your um alcohol through transdermally because you excrete about one percent of alcohol and sweat so there were things that we were using to measure alcohol that might have actually act as an intervention on their own and you know the fact that you have to go over it wasn't now we're using a much more discreet wearable wait but then it's a really clunky thing you know you have to say you're not gonna do swimming for six months you know all these things i think that in itself was an intervention yep um but also just be you know a lot of these people don't have a lot of social connections some of them did but the fact of having people looking after them checking in on them all the time you know repeatedly measuring like people just showing you general human kindness i think can have obviously a really positive effect in a group that might be quite isolated
