Abstract

Technology-based gambling prevalence is not well understood since relevant questions are not included in health and disease surveillance studies. The current study sought to estimate the prevalence of internet-based and smartphone app-based gambling, along with casino gambling, in a sample of U.S. young adults and determine if gambling modality was associated with problem gambling symptoms or substance use. The 2022 Rhode Island Young Adult Survey included N = 1,022 students between the ages of 18 to 25 years old who had lived in Rhode Island, with n = 414 lifetime gamblers (40.5%) included in this study. Odds of gambling via a smartphone app and on the internet, respectively, were greater in heterosexual cis-males compared to heterosexual cis-females (OR[95%CI] = 3.14 [1.25,7.91]; OR[95%CI] = 6.30 [2.05,19.3]). Internet gambling amongst employed students was less common than among those who were not a student and not employed (OR[95%CI] = 0.25 [0.06,1.00]). Odds of problem gambling symptoms were higher among those who gambled via a smartphone app (OR[95%CI] = 3.23 [1.21,8.60]). All forms of gambling were associated with alcohol consumption, although the strength of the association was stronger in app and internet gamblers. Casino gamblers were more likely to be high risk marijuana and illicit drug users. The rising availability of app gambling coupled with its social, psychological, and cultural context may presents an alternative pathway to problem gambling. Bans on internet gambling and/or strict guidelines on the frequency of wagers and cash placed per wager, should be considered as viable methods to mitigate associated consequences.

互联网赌博、基于应用程序的赌博和赌场赌博:方式、问题赌博和药物使用之间的关联。
由于相关问题未被纳入健康和疾病监测研究,因此人们对基于技术的赌博流行率还不甚了解。本研究试图估算美国青少年样本中基于互联网和智能手机应用程序的赌博以及赌场赌博的流行率,并确定赌博方式是否与问题赌博症状或药物使用相关。2022 年罗德岛州青年成年人调查包括 N = 1,022 名年龄在 18 岁至 25 岁之间、曾在罗德岛州居住的学生,其中包括 N = 414 名终生赌博者(40.5%)。与异性恋同性女性相比,异性恋同性男性通过智能手机应用程序和互联网赌博的几率分别更高(OR[95%CI] = 3.14 [1.25,7.91]; OR[95%CI] = 6.30 [2.05,19.3])。与非学生和非在职者相比,在职学生网络赌博的发生率较低(OR[95%CI] = 0.25 [0.06,1.00])。通过智能手机应用程序进行赌博的人出现赌博问题症状的几率更高(OR[95%CI] = 3.23 [1.21,8.60])。所有形式的赌博都与饮酒有关,但应用程序和网络赌博者的相关性更强。赌场赌博者更有可能是大麻和非法药物的高风险使用者。应用程序赌博的日益普及,加上其社会、心理和文化背景,可能为问题赌博提供了另一种途径。禁止网络赌博和/或对下注频率和每次下注的现金进行严格规定,应被视为减轻相关后果的可行方法。
