(Mis)Comprehension and (Mistaken) Attractiveness of Financial Gambling Inducements among UK Bettors
Financial gambling inducements such as ‘free’ bets and welcome bonuses involve complex wagering requirements that many consumers miscomprehend. UK regulations cap these wagering requirements at x10 (i.e., users must wager x10 the bonus before withdrawal) but don’t require worked examples to aid comprehension. This study assessed UK bettors’ comprehension of inducement wagering requirements, whether comprehension varied by gambling severity, wheth…
Evaluating the Efficacy of Electronic Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (e‐SBIRT) for Gambling
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the efficacy of electronic screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (e-SBIRT) at improving gambling outcomes and increasing help-seeking. METHODS: We conducted a two-arm, randomised online pilot trial (n = 83) comparing an e-SBIRT intervention with an active control over 12 weeks. The brief intervention was informed by motivational interviewing and incorporated personalised normative feedback, informatio…
Relapse in disordered gambling
Background Relapse is common among individuals undergoing treatment for gambling disorder (GD). Understanding the biological, psychological, and social (biopsychosocial (BPS)) factors that influence relapse in GD is important to guide clinical practice and improve treatment efficacy. However, evidence synthesis in this area is warranted to provide clarity and cohesion to the literature.Method A systematic review of empirical research (2015–2026) …
Research By Us, For Us
Hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs) address intervention and prevention of community-based interpersonal violence. HVIPs employ Violence Prevention Professionals (VPPs) as first responders to the hospital bedside for patients who present with injuries resulting from community-based interpersonal violence, including firearm injury, stab wounds, and assault. Despite the growing presence of HVIPs in the U.S., the model lacks proces…
Australian microgrids
Visible impacts of a changing climate across the nation, spiralling energy prices, and international political pressure have prompted a renewed focus by State and Federal Governments on the decarbonisation of the Australian economy, bringing vigour and momentum to the country's renewable energy transition. This potential reallocation of energy resources away from a centralised model of generation to a more distributed approach has increased the i…
Intelligence Inequality and Income Inequality
This article evaluates the relationship between inequality in cognitive test scores across countries and income inequality. By meta-analyzing the standard deviations in PISA results from 2000 to 2018, the authors construct a measure of intelligence inequalities across countries. They then test this measure to investigate if it has any association with income inequality as measured by the gini index. Across all models and subsamples, the authors d…
Violent Peacekeeping
Violent 'peace keeping' is a contradiction in terms but not if we analyse the provision of coercive law enforcement as just another organising process in state bureaucracies.This paper argues that events surrounding 9/11 merely accelerated processes of coercive peace keeping, which were already re-orientating following the end of the Cold-war.Peace keeping operations involve a range of definitional difficulties since they encompass not just peace…
