Past research has provided only tangential and disputed evidence to support the application of the PP to gambling-related harm.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Aims<\/jats:title>\n To assess whether the PP applies to gambling, the prevalence of a large set (72) of diverse harmful consequences from gambling was examined across four risk categories for problem gambling, including no-risk, low-risk, moderate-risk, and problem-gambling.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n Respondents who had gambled on non-lottery forms in the past 6 months completed an online survey (N<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20091,524, 49.4% male). The data were weighted to the known prevalence of gambling problems in the Victorian community.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n The prevalence of gambling harms, including severe harms, was generally higher in the combined categories of lower risk categories compared to the high-risk problem-gambling category. There were some notable exceptions, however, for some severe and rare harms. Nevertheless, the majority of harms in the 72-item list, including serious harms such as needing temporary accommodation, emergency welfare assistance, experiencing separation or end of a relationship, loss of a job, needing to sell personal items, and experiencing domestic violence from gambling, were more commonly associated with lower risk gamblers.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n Many significant harms are concentrated outside the ranks of gamblers with a severe mental health condition, which supports a public-health approach to ameliorating gambling-related harm.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1556\/2006.7.2018.41","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,23]],"date-time":"2018-05-23T07:51:04Z","timestamp":1527061864000},"page":"410-422","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1556\/policypage.crossmark.crossref.2","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":111,"title":["Prevalence of gambling-related harm provides evidence for the prevention paradox"],"prefix":"10.1556","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Matthew","family":"Browne","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences, Central Queensland University, Branyan, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthew J.","family":"Rockloff","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health, Medical and Applied Sciences, Central Queensland University, Branyan, QLD, Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"425","reference":[{"key":"B1","series-title":"Journal of Gambling Studies","article-title":"Validation of the Short Gambling Harm Screen (SGHS): A tool for assessment of harms from gambling","author":"Browne, M.","year":"2017","unstructured":"Browne, M.\n , \n \n Goodwin, B.\u00a0C.\n , & \n \n Rockloff, M.\u00a0J.\n (2017).
