美国对赌博进行了两项具有代表性的电话调查--一项针对18岁及以上成年人的成人调查(n=2631)和一项针对14-21岁年轻人的青年调查(n=2274)。由于两项调查的问题和方法相同或相似，这两项调查的数据被合并为一个数据集，以检查赌博和问题赌博在整个生命周期中的流行率和社会人口学相关性。目前的工作重点是彩票赌博，这是美国最流行的赌博形式。彩票赌博的频率从青春期中期急剧增加到18岁，这是大多数州购买彩票的法定年龄；彩票赌博持续增加到30多岁，并在60年代保持较高水平，然后在70岁及以上的人中下降。在负二项回归中综合考虑多种社会人口学因素，男性、年龄、社区劣势以及彩票在被调查者所居住的州是否合法显著地预测了彩票赌博的平均天数。这些发现可以用来为美国有关彩票的政策提供参考。
Two representative U.S. telephone surveys of gambling were conducted --an adult survey of adults aged 18 years and older (n = 2,631) and a youth survey of young people aged 14 – 21 years old (n = 2,274). Because the questions and methods were the same or similar in both surveys, the data from these two surveys were combined into a single dataset to examine the prevalence and sociodemographic correlates of gambling and problem gambling across the lifespan. The present work focused specifically on gambling on the lottery which is the most prevalent form of gambling in the U.S. The frequency of gambling on the lottery increased sharply from mid adolescence to age 18 which is the legal age to purchase lottery tickets in most states; lottery play continued to increase into the thirties when it leveled off and remained high through the sixties and then decreased among those 70 years and older. Considering multiple sociodemographic factors together in a negative binomial regression, the average number of days of lottery gambling was significantly predicted by male gender, age, neighborhood disadvantage and whether or not lottery was legal in the state where the respondent lived. These findings can be used to inform policies regarding lotteries in the U.S.
