Portland State University Student and Student Athlete Survey Results Related to Gambling
Description
Andi Dassopoulos from the Oregon Council on Problem Gambling (OCPG) Research Center partnered with Portland State University (PSU) in implementing a survey about gambling among students at PSU. The goals of this partnership were to:
-
develop and pilot test a survey with Oregon university students; and
- understand university students’ exposure to gambling information, common leisure activities, attitudes about gambling, services and supports related to gambling and other behavioral health issues, and gambling behaviors.
One area of particular interest was associated with collegiate sports gambling, something that is not currently legal in Oregon.
In this webinar, Andi Dassopoulos presents preliminary findings on the Oregon Student Gambling Survey and discusses college students as a vulnerable population for developing gambling problems and experiencing gambling harms related to other people’s gambling.
