  • Australia’s proposed gambling reforms may be good for industry, but not for public health

    Open AccessSabrina Lynette Thomas, Hannah Pitt et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2026

    Gambling industry harms are a major global public health concern (Van Schalkwyk et al. 2021, Thomas et al. 2023a, Cowlishaw et al. 2025). They contribute to financial hardship, family violence, relationship breakdown, and, in severe cases, suicide (Marionneau et al. 2023). The rapid expansion of online betting and the embedding of gambling within sport and digital environments have intensified exposure and normalized participation (Forrest 2025, …

    Open AccessSabrina Lynette Thomas, John Catford et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2026

  • ‘Industry still has too loud a voice’

    Open AccessSabrina Lynette Thomas, Simone Mccarthy et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2025

    Marketing is part of the suite of tactics used by the gambling industry and its allies to promote and normalize gambling. While there have been increased public calls for restrictions on gambling marketing, few governments have developed comprehensive policy responses to counter this public health threat. Consultation processes are widely seen as an important part of public decision-making and policy formation. However, there has been limited foc…

  • Developing structures to support researchers studying health-harming industries

    Open AccessHannah Pitt, Sabrina Lynette Thomas et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2024

    It is well-documented that health-harming industries and the groups they fund use a range of tactics that seek to interfere with academic research. With the development of scholarship relating to the Commercial Determinants of Health (CDoH), an increasing number of public health researchers are working to examine the activities of health-harming industries and the impacts they have on health and equity. However, there has been limited research in…

  • Community sports leaders’ perceptions of the risks and benefits of gambling sponsorship in community sport

    Open AccessSimone Mccarthy, Hannah Pitt et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2024

    Gambling sponsorship of professional sport, particularly relating to online wagering, has been a key focus of global regulatory reform efforts to address the normalization of gambling. In Australia, gambling companies and venues (including community clubs and hotels) also sponsor and develop relationships with community (non-professional) sports teams and clubs. In-depth interviews (n = 24) were conducted with senior leaders in community sporting…

    Open AccessSabrina Lynette Thomas, Mike Daube et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2024

    ‘Our world won’t be here if you continue to devastate the lands. There will be no more money to make.’ 19-year-old Australian (Arnot et al., 2023b) In 1986, when Health Promotion International was launched, the founding Chair of the Editorial Board, Professor Ilona Kickbusch, stressed that promoting health is not easy in the face of the well planned strategies of ‘powerful interest groups’ and the ‘wheelings and dealings of power politics’ [(Kick…

  • Young people’s views about the use of celebrities and social media influencers in gambling marketing

    Open AccessHannah Pitt, Simone Mccarthy et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2024

    Young people’s exposure to gambling marketing has had a clear impact on their gambling attitudes, risk perceptions and consumption intentions. Celebrities and social media influencers (SMIs) are increasingly used by the gambling industry in a wide range of promotions. While there is evidence that these types of promotions are influential in shaping young people’s attitudes towards other harmful products, there is limited evidence in relation to g…

  • Protecting children and young people from contemporary marketing for gambling

    Open AccessSabrina Lynette Thomas, May Ci Van Schalkwyk et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2023

    Around the world, children are being exposed to intensive marketing for gambling products. This normalizes perceptions that gambling is essentially a harmless form of entertainment, despite mounting evidence of the harms it causes. Young people and their parents are supportive of strategies to protect children from being exposed to gambling marketing. Yet existing regulatory efforts are inconsistent and inadequate, and have not protected children…

  • Global public health action is needed to counter the commercial gambling industry

    Open AccessSabrina Lynette Thomas, Samantha Thomas et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2023

New digital technologies and affordable internet have enabled the rapid transformation of this industry and its ability to offer many high-intensity gambling products across the world (Akanle and Fageyinbo, 2019). These are readily accessible in land-based venues and online via mobile devices which are constantly available 24 hours a …

  • The lived experience of financial harm from gambling in Australia

    Open AccessSarah Marko, Sabrina Lynette Thomas et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2023

    The financial consequences associated with harmful gambling create significant health and social stressors for individuals, their families, and communities. However, there has been limited research exploring how people impacted by gambling harm conceptualise and experience the financial impacts on their lives. To help fill this gap, this study used in-depth qualitative interviews with gamblers harmed by their own gambling and affected others harm…

  • “It is always there in your face.” Australian young people discuss exposure to gambling activities and promotions

    Open AccessSabrina Lynette Thomas, Simone Mccarthy et al.ARTICLESSM - Qualitative Research in…2023

    The normalisation of gambling for young people is a growing public health challenge. Despite initiatives aimed at reducing young people's exposure to unhealthy products, there is still little understanding of how they may be exposed to gambling. Using social exposure theory, this study aimed to explore young people's observations of gambling products and promotions within their everyday environments. In-depth interviews were conducted with 54 you…

  • Tobacco companies, corporate social responsibility and the use of third-party awards

    Briony Marshman, Katharina Wolf et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2023

    TCs are capitalising on the perceived credibility and objectivity of third-party awards using these 'honours' as a promotional strategy to justify their continuing role in society and enhance their perceived legitimacy in relation to claims of ethical and responsible behaviour. The results of this study have implications for tobacco control advocacy, as continuing to allow the promotion of these awards appears to contravene or conflict with the W…

  • Older adults' perceptions of the risks associated with contemporary gambling environments

    This research supports the adoption of public health responses that include consideration of the environmental, commercial, and political factors that may contribute to risky gambling environments

  • The impact of responsible gambling framing on people with lived experience of gambling harm

    Open AccessSarah Marko, Sabrina Lynette Thomas et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Sociology2023Referencias: 6

It underscores the need to reframe public messages about gambling away from responsible gambling, and toward research-based messages that can complement broader legislative changes and other measures to protect individuals

  • Convenient consumption

    Open AccessSabrina Lynette Thomas, Hannah Pitt et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2022

    There are a range of stereotypes and assumptions associated with women’s gambling behaviours. While researchers have demonstrated that the practices associated with women’s gambling are changing and becoming increasingly normalized, there is a limited understanding of how younger women ascribe meanings to these practices. This study explored the gambling practices of younger women. Forty-one women (20–40 years) participated in qualitative telepho…

  • Young people in Australia discuss strategies for preventing the normalisation of gambling and reducing gambling harm

    Open AccessHannah Pitt, Sabrina Lynette Thomas et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    This study demonstrates that young people have important insights and provide recommendations for addressing factors that may contribute to the normalisation of gambling, including strategies to prevent gambling related harm. Young people hold similar views to public health experts about strategies aimed at de-normalising gambling in their local communities and have strong opinions about the need for gambling to be removed from sport

  • Gamblers’ perceptions of responsibility for gambling harm

    Open AccessSarah Marko, Sabrina Lynette Thomas et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

    Background Gambling has traditionally been conceptualised as an issue of addiction and personal responsibility. While there are now clear public health models that recognise that gambling harm is caused by a range of socio-cultural, environmental, commercial and political determinants, government and industry messages about gambling are still largely personal responsibility focused. Given the well-recognised issues associated with personal respon…

  • Do health halos and conspicuous consumption influence the appeal and risk perceptions of e-cigarettes among young Cambodian men

    Thomas Stubbs, Sabrina Lynette Thomas et al.ARTICLETobacco Control2021

    Some young people may perceive e-cigarettes as a form of conspicuous consumption, which they associated with social status and identity. A health halo effect appears to be associated with e-cigarettes among some young people. This may influence young people to underestimate the potential health risks associated with these devices
