Frequent VLT gambling, both outside and inside casinos, and other casino games are associated with the largest odds of problem gambling, which highlights an area of gambling in Canada that needs to be reassessed if problem gambling is to be prevented or reduced. Evidence-based research is necessary to inform healthy public policies on gambling in Canada. Findings from the current research have important research and policy implications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/070674371005500104","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,11]],"date-time":"2017-01-11T19:42:51Z","timestamp":1484163771000},"page":"21-28","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":33,"title":["The Relation between Types and Frequency of Gambling Activities and Problem Gambling among Women in Canada"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Tracie O","family":"Afifi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Associate, Departments of Psychiatry and Community Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian J","family":"Cox","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Departments of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Community Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patricia J","family":"Martens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associate Professor, Department of Community Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba; Associate Professor and Director, Manitoba Centre for Health Policy, Winnipeg, Manitoba"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jitender","family":"Sareen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Associate Professor, Departments of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Community Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Murray W","family":"Enns","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Professor, Departments of Psychiatry and Community Health Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","volume-title":"Legalized gambling in Canada","author":"Stevens R","year":"2005","unstructured":"Stevens R.
