Internationally and in New Zealand, gambling research from an explicit women’s perspective is rare. Accordingly, gaps in our current understanding of how women are affected by gambling, as both gamblers and as affected others, are likely to constrain harm prevention reduction efforts.
The World Health Organization (WHO) supports multiple layers of gender analysis in health research and policy, accounting for personal and community-level impacts of gender, and investigation of the interactions between sex and gender and their dual impact on health.
Using a mixed methods approach and informed by data collected through the National Gambling Study (NGS), this study enabled a multifaceted exploration of the context, issues and factors influencing women’s gambling related harm in New Zealand and suggests pathways for harm reduction.
The findings are informing the Ministry’s thinking about how gambling harm minimisation services could be refocussed and revitalised to better meet the needs of women harmed by gambling. The refocussing and revitalising of services to better meet client needs is an important component of the current gambling harm minimisation strategy. (From the website). Record #6612
