Interventions, Practices and Systems to Support Children and Young People at Risk of Gambling-Related Harm: Scoping Review

Author: Bournemouth University Published: January 2024

Summary

This scoping review by Bournemouth University researchers examines interventions to support children and young people at risk of gambling harm. It reviews academic studies and other evidence to identify effective approaches.

Topics covered

  • existing services and interventions for young people
  • effectiveness of different prevention and treatment strategies
  • gaps in current support and recommendations for improvement

Key findings

Effective interventions use multiple methods, address various risk factors, and actively engage young people.

Tailoring programs to be age-appropriate and culturally relevant improves outcomes. However, more research is needed on innovative approaches and supporting specific groups.

Involving young people in designing interventions and taking a "whole systems" approach could enhance impact.
