"‘Hoe wolle jo jo sûnens ferbetterje?’ Sociodemographic differences in health goals and preferred support for reducing drinking and smoking in Friesland"^^ . "Alcohol consumption and smoking are harmful behaviours that threaten population health and tend to exacerbate existing health inequalities. Dutch healthcare policies are currently not on track of reaching health targets to reduce drinking and smoking, indicating a need for more effective interventions. This study examines the intentions of the population in Friesland to reduce or quit drinking and smoking. It investigates how sociodemographic differences (age, gender, educational attainment, income) influence health goals and preferred support for achieving these goals. Descriptive statistics and logistic regressions were conducted to analyse panel survey data provided by Planbureau Fryslân. \r\nThe results indicate that males, older individuals, and those with higher education and income are more likely to set alcohol-related health goals. Smoking-related goals are more common among smokers with intermediate education and modal salaries compared to those with higher socioeconomic status. Exploratory analyses of preferred support suggest that more support is preferred for smoking cessation than for alcohol cessation, with older individuals tending to prefer professional support or none at all, while younger people favour informal support. Gender and income also show weak associations with smoking support preferences. \r\nUnderstanding sociodemographic differences in health goals of the Frisian population is valuable for effectively assisting them in reducing health-damaging behaviours. These insights can help policymakers develop targeted interventions to address the needs of disadvantaged groups, reducing health inequalities, and improving overall health in Friesland. The exploratory nature of preferred support findings highlights the need for further research to confirm these associations."^^ . "2024" . . . . . . . "E.F. van der"^^ . "Hulst"^^ .
