The objective of the present stratified probability sample study was to explore the epidemiology of problem gambling in the family in the general population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Men and women 16\u201374 years-old randomly selected from the Norwegian national population database received an invitation to participate in this postal questionnaire study. The response rate was 36.1% (3,483\/9,638). Given the lack of validated criteria, two survey questions (\"Have you ever noticed that a close relative spent more and more money on gambling?\" and \"Have you ever experienced that a close relative lied to you about how much he\/she gambles?\") were extrapolated from the Lie\/Bet Screen for pathological gambling. Respondents answering \"yes\" to both questions were defined as Concerned Significant Others (CSOs).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, 2.0% of the study population was defined as CSOs. Young age, female gender, and divorced marital status were factors positively associated with being a CSO. CSOs often reported to have experienced conflicts in the family related to gambling, worsening of the family's financial situation, and impaired mental and physical health.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Problematic gambling behaviour not only affects the gambling individual but also has a strong impact on the quality of life of family members.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2458-8-412","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,16]],"date-time":"2008-12-16T14:15:41Z","timestamp":1229436941000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":64,"title":["Gambling problems in the family \u2013 A stratified probability sample study of prevalence and reported consequences"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Hanne Gro","family":"Wenzel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anita","family":"\u00d8ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Inger Johanne","family":"Bakken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,12,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"1382_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"615","DOI":"10.1017\/S1092852900021416","volume":"12","author":"MC Shaw","year":"2007","unstructured":"Shaw MC, Forbush KT, Schlinder J, Rosenman E, Black DW: The effect of pathological gambling on families, marriages, and children.
