Audit items 4 to 10 not collected from April 2022.

 * Data collected during monthly household survey beginning March 2014
 * Each month involves a new representative sample of ~ 1700 adults (16 and
   over)
 * Due to the pandemic:

– The March 2020 survey did not complete face-to-face collection at short notice
and is missing

– To present trends, March is interpolated as the average of Feb and April

– From April 2020 to December 2021, surveys were conducted by telephone and
among adults aged 18 and over. From January 2022 data collection resumed among
those aged 16 and over.

 * Between November 2020 and February 2022, ~0.8% of cases in England were
   incorrectly weighted 0. This has now been updated and some point estimates
   over this period have changed slightly (typically 1 d.p.) compared with
   earlier versions.
 * Since May 2022, some questions are only asked every second month. Therefore,
   the 3-month moving average is calculated after imputing the average from the
   previous and the following for the missing value.
 * Methods described in open access: Beard, et al., 2015. 'Protocol for a
   national monthly survey of alcohol use in England with 6-month follow-up:
   ‘The Alcohol Toolkit Study’. BMC Public Health 15:230 –
