Problem Gambling in Europe: Challenges, Prevention, and Interventions

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (14508 ratings)

Description:The proposed book will provide a comprehensive country-by-country survey of problem gambling in Europe. It is intended to summarize all the existing scientific knowledge about the extent of problem gambling and the effectiveness of legislative measures. Current market developments, such as the ongoing proliferation of gambling in most of the European countries and the introduction of new attractive gambling products as well as distribution channels (e.g., internet gambling or betting via mobile phones), suggest an increase in individuals who will engage in commercial gambling activities in the near future. These trends highlight the growing need to develop, implement and evaluate prevention programs to diminish the incidence of gambling-related problems. However, research activities and efforts to introduce evidence-based measures in order to prevent problem/pathological gambling vary considerably around the European countries. For example, in Germany no epidemiological study has been conducted yet to determine the prevalence rate of problem/pathological gambling in the adult population. In contrast, according to a new and unique legislation in Switzerland, the awarding of a concession to operate a casino requires a fully developed set of responsible gambling strategies that meet certain standards such as measures for the prevention and harm reduction of problem gambling, adequate staff training and the provision of data for research activities. Each chapter will be a country report on the psychological aspects of problem/pathological gambling and its prevention, including a scientifically-based analysis of current national policy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
