背景资料：这项研究的目的是研究赌博类型和赌博紊乱之间的关系，控制和不控制赌博参与（即受访者在过去12个月内参与的游戏类型的数量）。研究方法：我们完成了2007年英国赌博流行率调查（BGPS）的二级数据分析，该调查收集了2006年9月至2007年3月期间英格兰，苏格兰和威尔士的数据。样本包括9003名居民，年龄在16岁或以上，从10144个随机选择的地址招募。5832户家庭至少提供了一名参与者。事后加权，以产生一个全国代表性的样本产生了8968意见。BGPS包括四种主要类型的测量：参与赌博（在过去12个月和过去7天），赌博障碍评估，对赌博的态度和描述性信息。结果如下：统计控制赌博参与大大减少或消除了所有统计上显着的赌博类型和赌博障碍之间的关系。结论：赌博参与是赌博障碍的重要预测因素。我们的分析表明，更大的赌博参与更好地表征无序赌博比任何特定类型的赌博。
Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between types of gambling and disordered gambling, with and without controlling for gambling involvement (i.e. the number of types of games with which respondents were involved during the past 12 months). Methods: We completed a secondary data analysis of the 2007 British Gambling Prevalence Survey (BGPS), which collected data in England, Scotland and Wales between September 2006 and March 2007. The sample included 9003 residents, aged 16 or older, recruited from 10 144 randomly selected addresses. 5832 households contributed at least one participant. Post-facto weighting to produce a nationally representative sample yielded 8968 observations. The BGPS included four primary types of measures: participation in gambling (during the past 12 months and during the past 7 days), disordered gambling assessments, attitudes toward gambling and descriptive information. Results: Statistically controlling for gambling involvement substantially reduced or eliminated all statistically significant relationships between types of gambling and disordered gambling. Conclusions: Gambling involvement is an important predictor of disordered gambling status. Our analysis indicates that greater gambling involvement better characterizes disordered gambling than does any specific type of gambling.
