DESCRIPTION: Gambling opportunities have increased greatly since the 1970s and there is evidence that gambling and pathological gambling are linked to substance use and a complex network of addiction behaviors, especially alcohol and other drug abuse. Due to the changing modalities of gambling, special populations including women, young adults, minorities, and the elderly may be at increased risk for problems associated with gambling and substance use. Despite the increasing public concern about gambling, there has not been a national survey of gambling since 1974. There has never been a national survey of gambling and substance use. To address these issues, the investigators propose a national telephone survey of gambling, alcohol use, and illicit drug use among a representative sample of respondents age 18 and older in the U.S. The study will include assessments of substance use patterns and gambling behavior, as well as DSM-IV measures for alcohol dependence, drug dependence and pathological gambling. Sociodemographic information will be collected to determine the patterns of addictive behaviors within gender, age, racial/ethnic and socioeconomic groups. In addition, each respondent's individual-level interview data will be linked with ecological data including tract-level census data, the neighborhood-level PRIZM classification (a system of classifying neighborhoods by sub-culture using census data, market and political surveys, and consumer behavior), and state/regional level data on gambling laws and regulations. A geographic information system will be used to determine the proximity of the respondent's home to major gambling establishments, e.g., race tracks, casinos, and high stake bingo establishments. The Specific Aims are to study the correlation of gambling with substance abuse, to examine the common predictors of gambling behavior and substance abuse, to determine the prevalence of pathological gambling and gambling behaviors among various demographic groups, to determine the chronological trend in gambling behaviors and pathological gambling, to study the relationship of gambling and substance use to ecological factors and neighborhood sub-culture, and to investigate the effect of the availability factors such as state gambling laws and distance from tracks or casinos on actual gambling behaviors.

描述：自 20 世纪 70 年代以来，赌博机会大大增加 有证据表明赌博和病态赌博与 物质使用和成瘾行为的复杂网络，尤其是 酗酒和其他药物滥用。 由于赌博方式的不断变化， 特殊人群，包括妇女、年轻人、少数民族和 老年人出现赌博相关问题的风险可能更高 物质的使用。 尽管公众对赌博的关注度与日俱增， 自 1974 年以来，就没有对赌博进行过全国性调查。 关于赌博和药物滥用的全国调查。 为了解决这些问题， 调查人员提议对赌博、酗酒进行全国电话调查 受访者年龄代表性样本中的使用情况和非法药物使用情况 美国 18 岁及以上人士 该研究将包括物质使用评估 模式和赌博行为，以及 DSM-IV 酒精测量 依赖、药物依赖和病态赌博。 将收集社会人口统计信息以确定 性别、年龄、种族/民族和社会经济方面的成瘾行为 组。 此外，每个受访者的个人层面访谈数据将 与生态数据相联系，包括地区级普查数据、 邻里级 PRIZM 分类（一种分类系统 使用人口普查数据、市场和政治数据按亚文化划分的社区 调查和消费者行为）以及州/地区级赌博数据 法律法规。 地理信息系统将用于 确定受访者的住所距离主要赌博场所的远近 场所，例如赛马场、赌场和高额宾果游戏 机构。 具体目标是研究赌博的相关性 与药物滥用一起检查赌博行为的常见预测因素 和药物滥用，以确定病态赌博的患病率 以及不同人口群体的赌博行为，以确定 赌博行为和病态赌博的时间趋势 研究赌博和物质使用与生态因素的关系 和邻里亚文化，并调查其影响 可用性因素，例如州赌博法和距赛道的距离或 赌场的实际赌博行为。
