Abstract

Today, we publish the Lancet Public Health Commission on gambling—an inquiry and response to a neglected, understudied, and expanding public health threat. Gambling is not a simple leisure activity; it is a health-harming addictive behaviour. The harms associated with gambling are wide-ranging, not only affecting an individual's health and wellbeing, but also their wealth and relationships, affecting families and communities with potential lifelong consequences, and deepening health and societal inequalities. By assessing the barriers to preventing gambling-related health harms, the Commission unveils and deciphers the intersections between the social, commercial, legal, and political determinants of health.

是时候对赌博采取公共卫生对策了

今天，我们发布了柳叶刀公共卫生委员会关于赌博的报告--这是针对一个被忽视、研究不足且不断扩大的公共卫生威胁的调查和回应。赌博不是一种简单的休闲活动，而是一种危害健康的成瘾行为。与赌博相关的危害是广泛的，不仅会影响个人的健康和福祉，还会影响他们的财富和人际关系，影响家庭和社区并可能造成终身后果，加深健康和社会的不平等。通过评估预防与赌博有关的健康危害的障碍，委员会揭示并解读了健康的社会、商业、法律和政治决定因素之间的交叉关系。
