问题赌徒经常将自杀意念或企图归因于他们的赌博。Logistic回归分析应用于问题赌徒（N = 986）调用的数据。报告赌博相关自杀的问题赌徒（n = 252; 25.6%）比否认的人（n = 734; 74.4%）更可能承认家庭，财务，法律的，精神和物质相关的问题。在承认赌博相关自杀行为的问题赌徒中，那些报告赌博相关自杀企图的人（n = 53; 21.5%）比那些否认他们的人（n = 193; 78.5%）更有可能承认赌博相关的非法行为，心理健康和药物滥用治疗，以及酒精问题的家族史，并且不太可能报告先前的赌博治疗。研究结果表明，赌博严重程度的增加与赌博相关的自杀行为有关。
Problem gamblers often attribute suicidal ideation or attempts to their gambling. Logistic regression analyses were applied to data from problem gamblers (N = 986) calling a helpline. Problem gamblers reporting gambling-related suicidality (n = 252; 25.6%) were more likely than those denying it (n = 734; 74.4%) to acknowledge family, financial, legal, and mental and substance-related problems. Of problem gamblers acknowledging gambling-related suicidality, those reporting gambling-related suicide attempts (n = 53; 21.5%) were more likely than those denying them (n = 193; 78.5%) to acknowledge gambling-related illegal behaviors, mental health and substance abuse treatment, and family histories of alcohol problems, and were less likely to report prior gambling treatment. The findings suggest that increased gambling severity is associated with gambling-related suicidality.
