Reports:

• Measurement of prevalence of youth gambling in Australia
  The South Australian Centre for Economic Studies prepared this final report on a review of the literature on this topic for the Australian Government in December 2003. This report highlights the need for more streamlined and up-to-date ways to collect information on youth gambling and the impact of new technologies on their gambling behaviour. Regarding future work in this area, the researchers note in the executive summary that 'a longitudinal study where gambling issues are integrated into broader health issues' such as leisure, health and well-being or substance use 'may in fact be the preferred approach' as it 'would represent a more comprehensive approach to understanding youth gambling behaviours'.
