Home/Frameworks/Conceptual Framework

Through an international collaboration with gambling research experts, Greo facilitated the creation of a comprehensive Conceptual Framework of Harmful Gambling. It reflects the state of knowledge of factors that influence harmful gambling, and moves beyond a symptoms-based view of harm to address population risk, community influences, and societal effects. The framework is intended to serve as a guide for the development of research programs and to educate policy makers on issues related to harmful gambling.

Originally published in 2013 and revised in 2015, the framework was revised and expanded in 2018 to take into account the latest research.

Explore the factors below or download the complete Conceptual Framework (PDF). A french translation of the Conceptual Framework and be found here (PDF). Please send any questions or feedback about the framework to info@greo.ca.
