Gambling type preferences, psychological distress and hazardous alcohol use among young Finns
Background: Adolescence and early adulthood are periods of heightened vulnerability to gambling harm, financial strain, and mental health problems. Although overall gambling participation has declined among young people in Finland, those aged 20–29 remain overrepresented among individuals experiencing at-risk or problem gambling.Methods: This study uses combined data from the nationally representative Finnish Gambling 2019 and 2023 surveys (2019:…
Towards more reliable gambling cost estimates, a population-based study with register-linkage
Methods commonly used in gambling cost studies yield higher estimates of gambling costs when arbitrary causality adjustment methods are used. Bayes theorem allows leveraging data on temporal patterns of gambling problems to estimate the plausible proportion where gambling is the precipitating factor for the experienced harm, rather than the other way around. Additionally, costs could be presented as Int$ per adult using the PPP exchange rate to f…
Methodologies and estimates of social costs of gambling
The definition and measurement of social costs has been debated in gambling literature. Predominant framings of gambling have depicted it as a leisure activity without significant costs other than those caused directly by problem gambling. This view has been recently challenged with a public health perspective, adopting a wider definition of social costs that span beyond issues related to treatment and crime. Definitional debates have resulted in…
Gambling as a Social Issue
Gambling has become a large global industry but is considered a serious public health and social issue. The availability of gambling is higher in disadvantaged neighborhoods. It is possible that the higher availability of gambling not only contributes to gambling harm but also aggravates other social problems. The concentration of gambling outlets in disadvantaged neighborhoods can deepen the socioeconomic differentiation of neighborhoods. Conver…
Testing the acceptability and feasibility of the lower-risk gambling guidelines in Finland
Compulsory School Achievement and Future Gambling Expenditure
Even after controlling for other crucial background characteristics, early life success, in the form of compulsory school outcomes, seems to correlate with gambling expenditures later in youth. This suggests that the gambling behaviour can be linked to the cognitive ability of an individual. Our findings also imply that gambling could be more heavily concentrated on individuals that are already more socially disadvantaged. However, it is worth no…
