Liquor and Gambling in Manitoba 2016 [Canada]

The 2016 Liquor and Gambling in Manitoba Study was conducted by the Liquor and Gaming Authority (LGA) of Manitoba. Prior to this study, the Manitoba Gambling Control Commission (MGCC) conducted the 2013 Liquor and Gambling in Manitoba Study. The MGCC was also responsible for the previous version of the Liquor and Gambling study, the Manitobans and Gambling series, which began in 2004 and was conducted in three-year cycles (2004, 2007, 2010). The study has two sections. The first explores prevalence rates of alcohol consumption and gambling participation in the province. In the second section, the study gathers data with respect to: Gambling participation by gambling type; Motivations for gambling; Definitions of responsible gambling; Gambling limit-setting strategies; Awareness of responsible gambling tools and resources; and The prevalence of gambling-related harm and problem gambling in the province Sampling was stratified to ensure the inclusion of participants from the four major regions of the province (Winnipeg, Brandon, Southern Manitoba, and Northern Manitoba). Where the random sample diverged from population data, weights based on the 2011 Canadian Census corrected for minor discrepancies in gender, age, and household income. In total, 1,200 adult residents of Manitoba (age 18+) completed the Liquor and Gambling survey (Winnipeg: n= 622; Brandon: n=143; Southern Manitoba: n=301; and Northern Manitoba: n=134). The questionnaire for the 2016 Liquor and Gambling of Manitoba Study is based upon the questionnaires developed for the 2013 study and the Manitobans and Gambling series. The components of the questionnaire are also adapted from the Gambling Motives Questionnaire – Financial (GMQ-F), and the Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI). The intended use of the study is to inform the LGA’s responsible drinking and responsible gambling initiatives.

2016年曼尼托巴省酒类与博彩研究（2016 Liquor and Gambling in Manitoba Study）由曼尼托巴省酒类与博彩管理局（Liquor and Gaming Authority, LGA）开展。在此之前，曼尼托巴省博彩监管委员会（Manitoba Gambling Control Commission, MGCC）曾于2013年开展同主题研究——2013年曼尼托巴省酒类与博彩研究。该委员会同时负责早期的《曼尼托巴人与博彩》系列研究，该系列始于2004年，采用三年周期（2004、2007、2010年）开展。
本研究包含两个部分：第一部分旨在探究该省酒类消费与博彩参与的流行率；第二部分则采集以下维度的数据：按博彩类型划分的博彩参与情况、博彩动机、负责任博彩（responsible gambling）的定义、博彩限额设定策略、负责任博彩工具与资源的认知度，以及该省博彩相关伤害与问题博彩的流行率。
研究采用分层抽样设计，确保覆盖该省四大主要区域的受访者：温尼伯、布兰登、曼尼托巴南部与曼尼托巴北部。当随机抽样样本与人口统计数据存在偏差时，研究采用基于2011年加拿大人口普查的权重，对性别、年龄与家庭收入方面的细微差异进行校正。最终共有1200名年满18周岁的曼尼托巴成年居民完成本次酒类与博彩调查问卷，其中温尼伯地区622份、布兰登地区143份、曼尼托巴南部301份、曼尼托巴北部134份。
2016年曼尼托巴省酒类与博彩研究的调查问卷以2013年研究及《曼尼托巴人与博彩》系列研究的问卷为基础开发，同时改编自《博彩动机问卷-财务维度》（Gambling Motives Questionnaire – Financial, GMQ-F）与《加拿大问题博彩指数》（Canadian Problem Gambling Index, CPGI）。
本研究旨在为曼尼托巴省酒类与博彩管理局的负责任饮酒（responsible drinking）与负责任博彩（responsible gambling）相关举措提供决策支撑。
