Author(s): Swanton, Thomas B. ; Gainsbury, Sally M.

Journal: Current Opinion in Behavioral Sciences

Year Published: 2019

Date Added: January 24, 2020

This article is a brief review of current evidence regarding consumer credit use and gambling-related debts. It shows that the use of consumer credit and debts are associated with more severe problem gambling. Debts contribute to poor mental health over and above the impact of problem gambling. Debts are also linked to negative effects on the family and illegal activities. Based on their review, the authors made recommendations as to how to move forward in terms of research, policy, and practice.
