In this talk, I will draw on a range of recent studies to explore different aspects of gambling-related harm. First, I will discuss findings from recent gambling prevalence studies, conducted by our team from the Experimental Gambling Research Laboratory at CQUniversity. Our approach shows not just who is more likely to experience harm, but how much. I will also discuss different aspects of harm, such as harm from one’s own gambling, harm from someone else’s gambling, and legacy harm – harm from gambling that occurred in the past. Together, these findings will provide the most comprehensive picture of gambling-related harm, along with a discussion about future directions in harm research. Second, I will present findings from one of our recent studies exploring how the widespread accessibility of inherently dangerous gambling products is associated with harm in the population. Drawing on national prevalence data, we compare gambling-related harm and problems in Western Australia, where pokies are only available in a single casino, vs the rest of the country, where pokies are widely accessible. Findings show that not only is harm substantially lower in WA, but that this is almost entirely attributable to differences in the availability of pokies. I will also discuss findings related to substitution, and how this informs our thinking about the role of products in gambling harm. Third, I will discuss the role of social factors, both in terms of how gambling-related social factors differ for people who are in higher-risk groups, and the implications of these findings for reducing gambling-related problems and harm. Finally, I will talk about recent research on stressful life events. Using a novel life course calendar methodology, and employing bespoke analyses, we show that particular stressful life events may contribute to the onset of gambling problems, and which ones are associated with the cessation of gambling problems.
