Given that youth are engaging in gambling-related activities, the education system can be used to teach students about the risks and benefits of gambling. There are only a small number of studies that examined students’ knowledge and attitudes towards gambling, and the influence of educational strategies. In addition, existing evaluation studies are not representative as they only focus on youth between 12 and 18 years, and they do not assess long-term outcomes of gambling participation. There are also concerns that educators will not adopt gambling prevention strategies, as not all educators view gambling as a problem activity.
