Objective.本研究旨在探讨之间的关系，认为父母彩票参与和轴承后，青少年彩票参与。来自加拿大安大略省20所小学和9所高中的10-18岁的1 072名青年参加了调查。测量青少年彩票参与和游戏行为问卷和DSM-IV-MR-J修订版，以筛选青少年病态赌博。青少年报告说，他们玩各种形式的彩票，77%的人报告说，他们的父母为他们购买刮刮乐、彩票抽奖（50%）和体育彩票（23%）。父母为孩子购买彩票的数量随着赌博严重程度的增加而增加。与非赌徒和社会赌徒相比，有显著赌博问题的参与者认为父母参与彩票的程度更高。大多数参与者报告说，他们的父母知道他们的彩票参与，并不害怕被抓住购买彩票，尽管法律的禁止。结果表明，青少年对父母参与彩票的感知在青少年参与彩票的启动和维持中起着重要作用。鉴于青少年报告说他们从父母那里收到彩票，很明显彩票被视为一种无害的赌博形式。关于这一问题的公共宣传方案和教育至关重要。版权所有（C）2003约翰威利父子有限公司。
Objective. The present study sought to investigate the relationship between perceived parental lottery involvement and the bearing this has upon youth lottery participation.Participants. One thousand seventy-two youth, 10-18 years of age participated from 20 elementary and nine high schools throughout the province of Ontario, Canada.Measurements. Measuring Youth Lottery Participation and Playing Behaviour Questionnaire and the DSM-IV-MR-J Revised to screen for youth pathological gambling.Findings. Youth reported playing all forms of lottery tickets with 77% reporting that their parents purchase scratch tickets, lottery draws (50%), and sports tickets (23%) for them. Parental purchases of lottery tickets for their children increased by level of gambling severity. Participants with significant gambling problems perceived higher parental participation in the lottery compared to non-gamblers and social gamblers. The majority of participants reported that their parents were aware of their lottery involvement and were not afraid of getting caught purchasing lottery tickets in spite of legal prohibitions.Conclusion. The results suggest youths' perception of parental involvement with the lottery plays an important role in the initiation and maintenance of lottery participation for youth. Given that youth report receiving lottery tickets from their parents, it is clear that the lottery is perceived as an innocuous form of gambling. Public awareness programmes and education of this issue is critical. Copyright (C) 2003 John Wiley Sons, Ltd.
