Gambling Access Project Results
The gambling access project is now completed.
Thankyou to all those who participated, either in the survey or the focus groups.
We found some interesting differences between social gamblers and problem gamblers in the types of gambling venues they enjoy. Results were presented at the National Association of Gambling Studies Conference in Adelaide, November, 2008.
We also found that gamblers use a range of strategies to help them manage their gambling - this information will be available online in the near future. Some of it is described in our conference presentation in Bangkok late 2008.
For a brief summary of our findings see Swinburne Magazine - Issue #5.
