Gambling Impact and Behavior Study, 1997-1999: [United States]

The Gambling Impact and Behavior Study investigates the
gambling behavior and attitudes of adults and youth in America, and
also estimates the effects of gambling facilities on a variety of
local economic and social indicators. Respondents were randomly
selected by a national random-digit dial (RDD) through a stratified
design by state lottery status and distances to major casino. The
study includes three independent, unlinkable data files. The adult and
youth questionnaire (Parts 1 and 2) covered areas such as demographic
information, geographic region, gambling behavior and attitudes,
motivations for gambling, gambling history, a problem-gambling
diagnostic assessment, gambling treatment experience, family/marital
status and issues, income and financial information, criminal
activity, mental and general health, and substance use. Areas of
substance abuse examined were the use of alcohol, marijuana, hashish,
cocaine, crack, methamphetamine, stimulants, tranquilizers,
amphetamines, and speed. The Community Database (Part 3) included the
following: geographic locators (latitude, longitude), availability of
gaming facilities, gaming spending estimates, employment patterns by
industry, unemployment, bankruptcy, personal income, private and
public earnings, government expenditures, income maintenance/AFDC, and
vital statistics.
