The Hidden War: Problem Gambling Among Veterans
Description
Gambling has been a part of the U.S. military since the Civil War. Leaders of the Union and Confederate Armies spoke on the maleficence associated with gambling within its ranks. Although ingrained in military culture, gambling is associated with risk and co-occurring conditions linked to military service. One of these risks is suicide. As a population, Veterans are at an increased risk for suicide. Problem gambling behavior has higher rate of suicidal behavior than other addictions. This is concerning, but help is available. Learn how screening and awareness can mitigate the Veteran population's risk for problem gambling and suicide.
