Abstract

Lower-risk Gambling Guidelines (LRGGs) were developed in Canada to reduce the risk of gambling-related harm. The LRGGs, published in 2021, consist of three limits: gamble no more than 1% of household income per month; gamble no more than four days per month; and avoid regularly gambling at more than two types of games. All three limits should be followed at the same time. This study focuses on the situation in Finland before the LRGGs were published. The aim of this study is to investigate trends in lower-risk gambling by age and net income among men and women in the Finnish adult population in 2011, 2015, and 2019. Data were drawn from cross-sectional Finnish Gambling population surveys, including permanent residents in Mainland Finland aged 15-74 with Finnish, Swedish or Sámi as their mother tongue (2011; n = 4,484, 2015; n = 4,515, and 2019; n = 3,994). The results showed an increase in the prevalence of lower-risk gambling, rising from 29% in 2011 to 39% in 2019. This upward trend was observed among both men and women, with the prevalence among men increasing from 23 to 33%, and among women from 34 to 45%. The lowest prevalence of lower-risk gambling was found among individuals aged 60-74, especially regarding expenditure guidelines, as well as among women in the lowest income tertile. In conclusion, although the prevalence of lower-risk gambling has increased in Finland, there is still potential for further improvement to minimize harm.

2011 年、2015 年和 2019 年按年龄和净收入分列的芬兰男女低风险赌博趋势。
加拿大制定了《低风险赌博准则》(LRGGs),以降低与赌博相关的伤害风险。2021 年发布的《低风险赌博准则》包括三项限制:每月赌博不超过家庭收入的 1%;每月赌博不超过四天;避免经常在两种以上的游戏中赌博。这三项限制应同时遵守。本研究的重点是芬兰在《低风险指导原则》公布之前的情况。本研究的目的是调查2011年、2015年和2019年芬兰成年人口中,按年龄和净收入分列的低风险赌博趋势。数据来自芬兰赌博人口横断面调查,包括芬兰大陆15至74岁、母语为芬兰语、瑞典语或萨米语的常住居民(2011年,n=4484;2015年,n=4515;2019年,n=3994)。结果显示,低风险赌博的流行率有所上升,从2011年的29%上升到2019年的39%。这种上升趋势在男性和女性中都有体现,男性的流行率从 23% 上升到 33%,女性则从 34% 上升到 45%。在 60-74 岁的人群中,低风险赌博的流行率最低,尤其是在支出准则方面,以及在最低收入阶层的女性中。总之,虽然芬兰低风险赌博的流行率有所上升,但仍有进一步改进的潜力,以最大限度地减少危害。
