This community case study describes the development and implementation of the Gambling Awareness Research Initiative (GARI), a community-academic research partnership in Springfield, Massachusetts, created in response to the expansion of legalized gambling and the need for community-driven research to further understand gambling’s impact on youth and young adults. The initiative uses a participatory action research design that positions the Young…
Self-exclusion from gambling
While there is evidence for self-exclusion (SE) as an individual-level harm reduction intervention, its effects on reducing harm from gambling at the population level remain unclear. Based on a review of national legal frameworks and SE programs, including their utilization and enforcement in selected high-income societies, the present analysis aims to explore the reach and strengths of SE in the protection of gamblers in these jurisdictions. It …

Examining Relations Between Obsessive-Compulsive Features, Substance-Use Disorders, and Antisocial Personality Disorder in the Vietnam Era Twin Cohort
Gambling formats, involvement, and problem gambling
The gambling format an individual participates in is connected to whether an individual is likely to experience problem gambling. We also found that the level of involvement (and its relationship to intensity) may affect the likelihood that an individual will experience problematic gambling behavior. Ultimately, the type of gambling format an individual partakes in does mediate the relationship between problem gambling and involvement. In Massach…

The importance of friends and family to recreational gambling, at-risk gambling, and problem gambling
These analyses offer an examination of the similarities and differences between gambling subtypes. An important finding throughout the analyses is that the gambling involvement of family and friends is strongly related to Recreational Gambling, At-Risk Gambling, and Problem/Pathological Gambling. This suggests that targeting the social networks of heavily involved Recreational Gamblers and At-Risk Gamblers (in addition to Problem/Pathological Gam…

Legal Gambling and Problem Gambling as Mechanisms of Social Domination? Some Considerations for Future Research
Sociological attention to gambling has been long-standing but sporadic and limited both methodologically and theoretically. This article argues that recent changes in attitudes and laws about gambling and new efforts to measure and remediate the psychosocial costs and effects of problem gambling have combined with contemporary forms of wealth redistribution and racial and class oppression to produce a new mechanism of social domination. This mech…

A Reply to Gambino's “An Epidemiologic Note on Verification Bias
Exploring the links between gambling, problem gambling, and self-esteem
Despite the recent rapid expansion of legal gambling, little is known about gamblers or problem gamblers in the United States. In this article, we seek to extend our understanding of gambling in the United States by reviewing the major theoretical approaches to problem gambling and tracing the development of the major instrument used to measure problem gambling. Using a probability sample of 1,551 Georgia citizens interviewed in 1994, we present …

This paper reports on results of a larger study commissioned by the Alberta provincial government. The research design for the larger study incorporated both quantitative and qualitative research methods.

The intent of Phase I was to determine respondents' gambling patterns and behaviors and to assess the lifetime …

METHODS. Over the course of this project, epidemiological data were collected to determine the prevalence of probable pathological gambling in the general population in each study state and demographic data were collected…
