While researchers have demonstrated that the practices associated with women\u2019s gambling are changing and becoming increasingly normalized, there is a limited understanding of how younger women ascribe meanings to these practices. This study explored the gambling practices of younger women. Forty-one women (20\u201340 years) participated in qualitative telephone interviews. Participants were asked open-ended questions about personal engagement in gambling, including experiences of gambling, gambling engagement, and experiences with different gambling products and environments. Data interpretation was guided by reflexive thematic analysis. Three themes were constructed from the data: (i) gambling infrastructures, including both products and the embedding of gambling in community environments, contributed to the convenient and regular consumption of gambling, with gambling easy to access and engage with; (ii) social networks and intergenerational gambling practices impacted the perceived social value and competencies related to gambling; and (iii) technology facilitated new gambling practices, routinizing gambling behaviours through automation and building perceived competencies with a range of gambling products. Gambling regulation and public health responses to gambling often focus on either individual behaviours or product characteristics. This study suggests that this focus is too narrow and excludes important influences on younger women\u2019s gambling practices, which include the infrastructure that supports the provision and consumption of gambling products. Public health research, policy and practice must consider the full range of determinants that may contribute to the initiation and continuation of gambling in younger women.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/heapro\/daac153","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]],"date-time":"2022-12-22T14:07:07Z","timestamp":1671718027000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Convenient consumption: a critical qualitative inquiry into the gambling practices of younger women in Australia"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"37","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1427-7775","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samantha L","family":"Thomas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health, Institute for Health Transformation, Deakin University , Geelong, Victoria , Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hannah","family":"Pitt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health, Institute for Health Transformation, Deakin University , Geelong, Victoria , Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Melanie","family":"Randle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Business and Law, University of Wollongong , Wollongong, New South Wales , Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sean","family":"Cowlishaw","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, University of Melbourne , Melbourne, Victoria , Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Angela","family":"Rintoul","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Health Innovation and Transformation Centre, Federation University , Ballarat, Victoria , Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sylvia","family":"Kairouz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology and Anthropology, Concordia University , Montreal, Quebec , Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mike","family":"Daube","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Curtin University , Subiaco, Western Australia , Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022122214054070000_CIT0001","volume-title":"New Zealand 2012 National Gambling Study: Overview and Gambling Participation","author":"Abbott","year":"2014"},{"key":"2022122214054070000_CIT0002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1051","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1360-0443.2012.03800.x","article-title":"A tale of missed opportunities: pursuit of a public health approach to gambling in New Zealand","volume":"107","author":"Adams","year":"2012","journal-title":"Addiction"},{"key":"2022122214054070000_CIT0003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1568","DOI":"10.1111\/add.13397","article-title":"Developing a social practice-based typology of British drinking culture in 2009\u20132011: implications for alcohol policy analysis","volume":"111","author":"Ally","year":"2016","journal-title":"Addiction"},{"key":"2022122214054070000_CIT0004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.3109\/16066359.2015.1093121","article-title":"Shaping pathways to gambling consumption?
