In other countries the prevalence of pathological gambling in children and adolescents has been higher than in adults. Here some results of the first studies conducted in Spain concerning the prevalence of pathological gambling in school children and adolescents (11\u201316 years) are presented for two cities located in different northern regions of Spain, A Coru\u00f1a (Galicia) and Gij\u00f3n (Asturias), with representative samples of school children. The prevalence was 2.2% ( n = 1,200) and 1.6% ( n = 2,185), respectively, for the use of slot machines, using the 1993 DSM-IVJ Questionnaire of Fisher, and 2.4% in the first city with the South Oaks Gambling Screen-Revised Adolescent for all types of gambling. The analyses suggest there is an emerging problem among children and adolescents in Spain perhaps leading to an increased number of pathological gamblers as adults.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2466\/pr0.1997.81.1.275","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,8,31]],"date-time":"2011-08-31T14:38:46Z","timestamp":1314801526000},"page":"275-287","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Pathological Gambling in Spanish Children and Adolescents: An Emerging Problem"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"81","author":[{"given":"Elisardo","family":"Beco\u00f1a","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Santiago de Compostela"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1997,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-pr0.1997.81.1.275","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01014627"},{"key":"bibr2-pr0.1997.81.1.275","first-page":"551","volume-title":"Manual de psicopatotog\u00eda y trastornos psiqui\u00e1tricos","volume":"1","author":"Beco\u00f1a E.","year":"1995"},{"key":"bibr3-pr0.1997.81.1.275","volume-title":"Paper presented at the First European Conference on Gambling and Policy Issues","author":"Beco\u00f1a E.","year":"1995"},{"key":"bibr4-pr0.1997.81.1.275","volume-title":"Ludopat\u00eda [Pathological gambling]","author":"Beco\u00f1a E.","year":"1996"},{"key":"bibr5-pr0.1997.81.1.275","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01539173"},{"key":"bibr6-pr0.1997.81.1.275","first-page":"423","volume":"7","author":"Beco\u00f1a E.","year":"1995","journal-title":"Adicciones"},{"key":"bibr7-pr0.1997.81.1.275","first-page":"13","volume":"8","author":"Beco\u00f1a E.","year":"1996","journal-title":"Psicothema"},{"key":"bibr8-pr0.1997.81.1.275","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02104793"},{"key":"bibr9-pr0.1997.81.1.275","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2466\/pr0.1996.78.2.635"},{"key":"bibr10-pr0.1997.81.1.275","volume-title":"Paper presented at the Eight International Conference on Risk and Gambling","author":"Cayuela R.","year":"1990"},{"key":"bibr11-pr0.1997.81.1.275","volume-title":"Las cifras del juego en Espa\u00f1a en 1995 [The spend of gambling in Spain in 1995]","author":"Celej","year":"1996"},{"key":"bibr12-pr0.1997.81.1.275","volume-title":"Memoria 1994 [1994 Report]","author":"Comisi\u00f3n Nacional Del Juego","year":"1995"},{"key":"bibr13-pr0.1997.81.1.275","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/10826088109038817"},{"key":"bibr14-pr0.1997.81.1.275","first-page":"339","volume":"1","author":"Dickerson M.
