Problem Gambling: effects on families, children and spouses

该项目旨在提供可用于解决澳大利亚问题赌博的证据。 问题赌博是一个主要问题，每年给澳大利亚人造成超过47亿澳元的损失。 更好地了解问题赌博和更好的政策来自我们的项目有可能显着改善澳大利亚人的生活-他们的劳动力市场表现，他们的心理健康和他们的关系质量。 该项目将通过使用一种新的方法产生新的知识，在这种方法中，问题赌徒被认为是在他们的家庭背景下。 该项目利用10多年来的定量数据，试图提供新的证据，说明问题赌徒如何影响他们的家庭，以及家庭如何帮助或伤害赌徒。

This project aims to produce evidence that can be used to address problem gambling in Australia. Problem gambling is a major issue, costing Australians over $4.7 billion per year. Better understanding of problem gambling and better policy coming from our project have the potential to significantly improve the lives of Australians--their labour market performance, their mental health and the quality of their relationships. This project will generate new knowledge by using a novel approach where problem gamblers are considered in the context of their families. Using quantitative data over more than 10 years, this project seeks to produce new evidence about how problem gamblers affect their families and how families help or harm gamblers.
