Unhealthy commodity industries use strategies to influence policy decisions in line with their commercial interests. The gambling industry has received comparatively little attention in this space compared to the tobacco and alcohol industries.
We are delighted to invite you to a webinar led by Dr Steve Sharman, Research Fellow, The National Addiction Centre at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN), at King’s College London. Steve will discuss his latest work on gambling and suicide. Steve is a specialist in gambling research and is an Academic Fellow of the Society for the Study of Addiction.
This webinar will provide an overview of casinos’ potential liability in negligence for contributing to the risk of excessive gambling, with comparisons to the well-established liability of licensed alcohol providers.
Risk factors include game design, loyalty programs, and an absence of harm-limiting mechanisms.
Gambling is related to many public health outcomes.
In this webinar, Dr Elton-Marshall will provide recent findings from several studies exploring the extent to which gambling relates to behavioural addictions, substance use, bullying, and physical activity among adolescents in Ontario.
