Journal: Addiction Research & Theory

Year Published: 2022

Date Added: June 29, 2022

This article reviews and describes research evidence regarding gambling and completed suicides. The researchers found 18 research articles relevant to the topic. A review of these studies shows that people with a history of gambling problems have a higher risk of suicide. Some risk factors for suicide include financial problems and co-occurring mental health problems. Participants in most studies were white middle-aged men. Most studies also had small numbers of participants and originated from only a few countries. The researchers made suggestions for future research directions.
