Cultural adaptation of the lower-risk gambling guidelines: Reflections from the Finnish experience
The Lower-Risk Gambling Guidelines (LRGG) represent a milestone in translating empirical evidence on gambling-related harm into public health guidance. As they are implemented internationally, contextual adaptation is essential to ensure relevance and effectiveness. This commentary discusses Finland's adaptation, which adjusted the expenditure threshold from 1% of household gross income to 2% of personal net income. Drawing on Finnish research, w…
Agency Revisited: Addiction Services’ Clients’ Recovery in the Light of the Brain Disease Model of Addiction (BDMA)
Proponents and critiques of the brain disease model of addiction (BDMA) discuss its benefits and shortcomings in the light of agency.

Strengthening channeling policy: The Finnish approach to protecting domestic online gambling market
Many jurisdictions struggle to curb offshore gambling as established approaches to gambling regulation no longer apply to online gambling.

In total, 18 Finnish public servants employed in ministries in charge of …

While correct typologies of gamblers are important for developing treatment, they are less useful for harm prevention. The current study uses a system theoretical approach to investigate gambling communication in order to develop a genuine typology of gambling. Sn…
Gambling Policies in European Welfare States
Introduction: Gambling Regulations and the Use of Gambling Revenues in European Welfare States
Compromising the public good? Civil society as beneficiary of gambling revenue
Profits from legal gambling are often channelled to good causes. This system embeds the predicament of whether citizens’ potentially problematic gambling activities should be a source of funding for the public good. In this article, this dilemma is unfolded by the receivers of public grants that stem from gambling revenues. A total of twenty-three representatives of Civil Society Organizations were interviewed as beneficiaries of the Finnish stat…
Alcoholism, brief intervention and the institutional context: A focus-group study with French and Finnish general practitioners
The moral problem of heavy drinking has become medicalised. However, when taking into account the different levels of medicalisation, French alcohol policy and treatment organisation has traditionally gone further than Finnish policy, although physicians in both countries are now becoming more important in the treatment of alcoholism. General practitioners (GPs) are often the first to diagnose alcoholism and they are expected to apply brief inter…
