Title of project:
Assessing the hidden gateways into gambling and policies to reduce problem gambling
Proposal summary:
This research paper will look at the gateways into gambling and in particular, problem gambling. Through a quantitative and statistical approach, we hope to identify the behavioural characteristics that may be associated with problem gamblers. Once identified, potential policies will be suggested to dissolve the issue of problem gambling.
Impact of research:
Contribution to understanding of correlates and causal patterns behind problem gambling (also as a model for other 'addicitive' behaviours with societal reinforcers).
