Life course and legacy gambling harms in New Zealand Matthew Rockloff, Maria Bellringer, Giulia Lowe, Tess Armstrong, Matthew Browne, Katie Palmer Du Preez, Alex Russell, Nerilee Hing and Nancy Greer
Material type:
TextSeries: ANROWS Research reportPublication details: Central Queensland University & Auckland University of Technology, 2021Description: electronic document (190 pages) ; PDF fileSubject(s): Online resources: Summary: Gambling harm results from excessive time and/or money devoted to gambling that impacts on important aspects of life. These harms may accrue directly to the gambler but also
potentially to others, such as family members, who are closely connected to the gambler. These closely connected others are often termed Concerned Significant Others (CSOs).
Browne et al. (2017) documented a diverse collection of harmful consequences that are endorsed by gamblers and CSOs in New Zealand. Importantly, this work identified that a larger quantum of harm in the community is suffered by
people with relatively few gambling problems. That is, numerous New Zealanders gamble to excess on occasion and cause some harm to themselves and others, despite not being
classified as problem gamblers. Since this occasional harm is so common, and problem gambling is rare, a large amount of harm is distributed widely in the population. Moreover, this
harm is inequitably concentrated in Māori, Pacific and Asian communities. (From the Executive summary). Record #8936
