As concerns rise that stigma could prevent those struggling from reaching out for support, the charity GambleAware launched a campaign supported by Dr Linda Papadopoulos to challenge stigma and highlight available support
GambleAware is inviting people to submit proposals to contribute to their 10th Annual Conference, ‘Taking action to tackle gambling harms as a public health issue’.
GambleAware has published a scoping study which shows that a significant amount of published research on gambling harms uses stigmatising language and makes a number of key recommendations.
Data from GambleAware's 2021 Annual Treatment and Support survey has informed a new set of interactive maps which give an indication of gambling harms prevalence across Great Britain and the demand for treatment and support.
The Patterns of Play report was carried out by researchers from the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) and the University of Liverpool to better understand online gambling behaviour in Great Britain.
