is a public health model that takes into consideration biological, behavioral, economic, cultural and policy elements influencing gambling and health;
-
combines prevention, harm reduction and multiple levels of treatment focusing on quality of life issues for gamblers, their families, and communities;
-
appreciates the multiple dimensions of gambling; and
-
combines strategies that minimize gambling's negative impacts while recognizing the reality of gambling's availability, cultural acceptance, and economic appeal.
