先前的研究表明，青少年报告赌博相关问题的可能性是成年人的两到三倍。本文报告了以学校为基础的问题赌博预防课程的开发和试点评估。预防计划的重点是问题赌博意识和自我监控技能，应对技能和随机事件的性质的知识。一个对照实验的结果，评估学生从该计划的学习报告。我们发现，学生的随机事件的知识，问题赌博意识和自我监控的知识，以及应对技能的知识显着改善。结果表明，知识为基础的材料随机事件，问题赌博意识和自我监控技能，应对技能可以教。未来课程的发展将侧重于内容，以扩大学生的应对技能选择。
Previous studies have shown that youth are two to three times more likely than adults to report gambling related problems. This paper reports on the development and pilot evaluation of a school-based problem gambling prevention curriculum. The prevention program focused on problem gambling awareness and self-monitoring skills, coping skills, and knowledge of the nature of random events. The results of a controlled experiment evaluating the students learning from the program are reported. We found significant improvement in the students’ knowledge of random events, knowledge of problem gambling awareness and self-monitoring, and knowledge of coping skills. The results suggest that knowledge based material on random events, problem gambling awareness and self-monitoring skills, and coping skills can be taught. Future development of the curriculum will focus on content to expand the students’ coping skill options.
