Frameworks provide a structure that can support understanding, explaining, and predicting why a problem exists. There are a number of frameworks in gambling studies that provide structure to the understanding of gambling harm.

The Conceptual Framework of Harmful Gambling

GREO has facilitated the development of a comprehensive, internationally relevant conceptual framework of “harmful gambling” that moves beyond a symptoms-based view of harm and addresses a broad set of factors related to population risk, community, and societal effects. This framework reflects the state of knowledge related to factors influencing harmful gambling, and serves as a guide for the development of research programs and education of policy makers on issues related to harmful gambling.

Another example of a framework for gambling studies is the Conceptual Framework of Gambling Related Harm, developed by Erika Langham and colleagues. This framework outlines seven dimensions of harms (financial harm, relationship disruption, emotional distress, etc.) across three temporal categories (general harms, crisis, and legacy). It also accounts for lifecourse and intergenerational harm. The aim of this framework is “to create a dialogue that will lead to a more coherent interpretation of gambling harm across treatment providers, policy makers and researchers”. For more information about this framework, GREO has created a plain-language summary of the publication.

For information about other frameworks used for understanding and addressing gambling harm, please searc GREO's Evidence Centre using the link below.
