本研究旨在评估大学生网络赌博的流行程度及其与病态赌博和心理健康状况的关系。南橡树赌博屏幕和一般健康问卷进行了管理，1356名本科生，23%的报告曾经在互联网上赌博，6.3%的报告互联网赌博每周。近三分之二（61.6%）经常上网赌博的人是病态赌徒，而不经常上网赌博的人和非上网赌博的人分别为23.9%和5.0%。在控制了人口统计学和病理性赌博因素后，网络赌博频率与心理健康状况不佳显著相关。这些数据呼吁预防和治疗学生网络赌博的努力。
This study evaluated prevalence of Internet gambling and its association with pathological gambling and mental health status in college students. The South Oaks Gambling Screen and General Health Questionnaire were administered to 1356 undergraduates, and 23% reported ever gambling on the Internet, with 6.3% reporting Internet gambling weekly. Almost two-thirds (61.6%) of regular Internet gamblers were pathological gamblers, compared with 23.9% of infrequent Internet gamblers and 5.0% of non-Internet gamblers. Internet gambling frequency was significantly associated with poor mental health, after controlling for demographics and pathological gambling. These data call for prevention and treatment efforts of Internet gambling in students.
