I’m so delighted that we get to extend our research in this area - nearly twenty years of gambling prevalence research, and there’s still so much to do….
Great to see this important research into gambling behaviours continue. Our experts including @shwardle.bsky.social have led hugely impactful research into gambling harms and how these affect individuals - and those around them - for the past two decades.
Our gambling harms experts have been awarded a four year contract by @gamblingcommission.bsky.social to deliver the Gambling Survey for Great Britain with @natcen.bsky.social
Previous contributions by UofG researchers have deepened understanding of gambling behaviours.
