This debate aims to assess the various complementary and contrasting views on gambling and to develop a conceptual model that addresses the problem from a public health perspective. The following are some of the implications of gambling for public health:
Impacts of problem gambling
Problem gambling has a variety of effects on society and individual life. It’s a recreational activity, but it can have long-lasting effects on an individual’s quality of life, especially if it takes time away from work, school, or other obligations. Financial harms are generally unrecognized at the individual level, but can be apparent at the societal level. Problem gambling can result in financial ruin for problem gamblers, who can leave their families and communities unable to provide for their own needs. Problem gambling may even result in social care costs.
Studies have shown that problem gamblers are at increased risk of developing mental health disorders. In fact, two out of three problem gamblers report that their mental health has suffered as a result of gambling. Symptoms of these mental illnesses can range from depression to personality disorders. Problem gamblers may also cash in college funds or retirement savings. Many also have additional credit cards. Problem gambling is a hugely negative influence on a person’s life, and the consequences can be very negative.
Impacts of responsible gambling
The impact of gambling is significant on a personal, interpersonal, and community level. These impacts can occur within and outside of a gambling environment, and include economic, labor, and health costs. These impacts are most often not recognized and cannot be measured by financial costs alone. However, the impact of gambling on society as a whole, and in particular on the community, should not be overlooked. Ultimately, these impacts will contribute to the overall health and welfare of society.
