Onsite, Intercept Survey and Longitudinal Follow-up Study of Gamblers Who Patronize Gambling Venues: An Integrated Knowledge Translation Project
EF 2021-22
Résumé
Gambling is common among adults in Canada. Severe problem gambling is an important public health issue because it can lead to bankruptcy, divorce, depression, and suicide and often co-occurs with substance use and poor mental health. Most problem gamblers do not seek treatment. Our recent study of older adult casino patrons (aged 55+) produced a large sample of moderate (20%) and severe problem (7%) gamblers. The proposed project will replicate this onsite survey method with the adult casino patron population (aged 18+) to obtain a large sample of gamblers at casinos in Ontario. This project addresses two substantial gaps in knowledge: (1) the lack of direct information on gambling and problem gambling from gamblers at casinos; and, (2) a lack of longitudinal research on gamblers at casinos. The purpose of this Integrated Knowledge Translation research project is to gain a greater understanding of problem gamblers by surveying gamblers at casinos in Ontario, to follow them up over 24 months and to develop and disseminate evidence-informed practice recommendations for more effective prevention and treatment of problem gambling.

Abstract
Gambling is common among adults in Canada. Severe problem gambling is an important public health issue because it can lead to bankruptcy, divorce, depression, and suicide and often co-occurs with substance use and poor mental health. Most problem gamblers do not seek treatment. Our recent study of older adult casino patrons (aged 55+) produced a large sample of moderate (20%) and severe problem (7%) gamblers. The proposed project will replicate this onsite survey method with the adult casino patron population (aged 18+) to obtain a large sample of gamblers at casinos in Ontario. This project addresses two substantial gaps in knowledge: (1) the lack of direct information on gambling and problem gambling from gamblers at casinos; and, (2) a lack of longitudinal research on gamblers at casinos. The purpose of this Integrated Knowledge Translation research project is to gain a greater understanding of problem gamblers by surveying gamblers at casinos in Ontario, to follow them up over 24 months and to develop and disseminate evidence-informed practice recommendations for more effective prevention and treatment of problem gambling.
