Abstract

Gambling forms part of social and leisure activities for adolescents but is not free of potential harms. Moreover, with the emergence of new technologies, gambling has become increasingly accessible and appealing to this population. The aim of this study was to determine the magnitude of gambling behaviour and its associated factors in adolescents aged 13-19 years in the city of Barcelona in 2021. A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the 2021 Survey of Risk Factors in Secondary Schools. A bivariate analysis was carried out and multiple logistic regression models were constructed to estimate adjusted odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals for online, non-online, and at-risk gambling. The prevalence of gambling among adolescents in Barcelona was 18.6% in boys and 6.1% in girls. Gambling was associated with various sociodemographic, health, and lifestyle factors, with differences observed by sex and gambling modality (online vs. non-online). The prevalence of at-risk gambling was 6.2% in boys and 1% in girls. At-risk gambling was associated with male sex, engaging in online gambling, poor mental health, and participating in more than two different types of gambling. The results of this study show that gambling is a widespread activity among adolescents in Barcelona, with significant associated risks. Preventive programmes and regulations are needed to reduce gambling involvement and gambling-related harms.

在巴塞罗那 13-19 岁青少年中开展的一项横断面调查中发现的网络赌博和高危赌博行为。

赌博是青少年社交和休闲活动的一部分，但并非没有潜在的危害。此外，随着新技术的出现，赌博对这一人群的吸引力与日俱增。本研究旨在确定 2021 年巴塞罗那市 13-19 岁青少年赌博行为的规模及其相关因素。这项横断面研究使用了 2021 年中学风险因素调查的数据。研究进行了二元分析，并构建了多元逻辑回归模型，以估算在线、非在线和高危赌博的调整后几率比例及其 95% 的置信区间。巴塞罗那青少年的赌博率为：男生 18.6%，女生 6.1%。赌博与各种社会人口、健康和生活方式因素有关，并因性别和赌博方式（在线赌博与非在线赌博）的不同而有所差异。男孩和女孩的高危赌博率分别为 6.2%和 1%。高危赌博与男性性别、参与网络赌博、心理健康状况不佳以及参与两种以上不同类型的赌博有关。这项研究的结果表明，赌博是巴塞罗那青少年中普遍存在的一种活动，同时也存在很大的相关风险。需要制定预防计划和法规，以减少参与赌博和与赌博相关的危害。
