This study explored journeys towards gambling harm among young Australian sports bettors and key sources of influence on their experiences, from childhood to early adulthood. Fifty people aged 18–25 years reporting moderate or high harm from sports betting on the Gambling Harm Scale we…
Sure they Gamble – But At Least They’re Not Being Bullied! A Survey of Parental Perspectives of Adolescent Gambling
There is almost no research on adolescent gambling from the perspective of parents, despite their important role in preventing adolescent engagement in potentially risky and harmful activities. This study used a quantitative online survey of 1,185 parents (69% mothers) of adolescents (aged 12 to 17 years) to examine parental attitudes and knowledge of adolescent gambling and adolescent exposure to parental gambling. Most parents disapproved of ad…

Interviews with 50 people aged 18–25 who reported sports betting harm were analysed using thematic analysis. Findings highlight the multidimensional nature of harm across financial, emotional, vocational, relationship …
Lessons from the field. Toward evidence‐based parenting support to promote positive parenting in children's sport
Play Well Triple P
Parents play a central role in children's ongoing participation and enjoyment of sport. Despite compelling evidence that parental behaviour can undermine the quality of children's experiences in sport, little research has examined whether strategies to support parents to engage in positive sports parenting behaviour are effective. In this paper, we report two studies that had the overall aim of developing, implementing and evaluating a program de…

Revisiting gendered parenting of adolescents
Introduction : Today’s adolescents are growing up in a unique sociocultural climate in which gender issues are highly prominent. Alongside new ways of understanding gender identity, there are persistent gender disparities in social, health and mental health outcomes despite increasingly egalitarian views and a significant public focus on sexual assault and gender-based violence. Given gender-differentiated outcomes emerge during adolescence, it i…

Experiences of Aboriginal parents in the context of junior rugby league
The proportion of Aboriginal peoples in a variety of Australian sports are at a much higher levels than their proportion of the overall population in Australia. Given the relative absence of Aboriginal parents in discussions of parenting, and the strong involvement of Aboriginal peoples in sport, the experiences of Aboriginal parents within Junior Rugby League (JRL) were explored in this study. The aim was to consider the key factors impacting th…
I Have to be the Mum and Dad for 4 Weeks Straight'. Exploring the Experiences and Support Needs of Australian Parents and Partners Engaged in Fly-In/Fly-Out Work Practices
Fly-in/fly-out (FIFO) work practices have become common place in Australia over the past two decades. Research has documented the personal impact of these work practices, but little peer-reviewed research is available on the family impact of this work. The study aimed to better understand (1) the impact of FIFO work arrangements on children, parents and relationships; (2) strategies parents use to manage the home-away cycle; and (3) preferences f…
Adolescents Who Play and Spend Money in Simulated Gambling Games Are at Heightened Risk of Gambling Problems
Simulated gambling, such as playing a virtual slot machine for points rather than money, is increasingly part of the online gaming experience for youth. This study aimed to examine (1) if youth participation in simulated gambling games is associated with participation in monetary gambling; (2) if youth participation in simulated gambling games is associated with increased risk of problematic gambling when controlling for breadth of monetary gambl…
Assessing Adolescent Functioning from Different Perspectives
The study aimed to provide further evidence for the validity of the 33-item Adolescent Functioning Scale (AFS) as a parent- and adolescent-report scale of adolescent adjustment. In separate samples of parents (N = 542; 88% female) and adolescents (N = 303; 60% female), confirmatory factor analyses supported the original 4-factor structure of the AFS. Analyses produced a 28-item parent measure, and a 27-item adolescent measure. Parent and adolesce…
