Not Too Much, Not Too Often, and Not Too Many: The Results of the First Large-Scale, International Project to Develop Lower-Risk Gambling Guidelines
Until now, there has been no evidence-based, specific advice for people who gamble who want to reduce their risk of experiencing gambling harms.

Small areas were characterised by their "affluence", or lack of it, by deriving a Townsend deprivation score for each electoral ward, usin…
