摘要

背景近年来，在线赌博市场迅速发展，博彩已成为最流行的赌博形式之一。本研究旨在通过谷歌趋势（Google Trends）的相对搜索量，分析马拉维人对博彩、体育博彩、酒精、香烟和一些精神药物相关词汇的兴趣。方法每月从谷歌趋势中获取 2010-2022 年期间与博彩、体育博彩、酒精、香烟和精神活性药物相关的互联网搜索查询数据。结果在马拉维，博彩和体育博彩词条的相对搜索量最高（平均 RSV：66% 和 30%）。研究发现，从 2019 年开始，人们对博彩和体育相关搜索主题和关键词的兴趣明显增加（p < 0.001）。博彩相关关键词与酒精和国内生产总值之间存在很强的正相关性（r = 0.831 和 r = 0.901，p < 0.001）。博彩和精神活性药物相关关键词之间存在正相关（最小 r = 0.417，p < 0.01）。结论本研究得出结论，马拉维人对博彩的兴趣近年来有所增加，而对精神活性药物和酒精的兴趣仍然很高。国内生产总值与社会对博彩的兴趣高度相关。研究还发现，谷歌趋势可用作预测和监测未来危险行为（如赌博障碍）的工具。

The Interest in Betting, Smoking, Alcohol, and Drugs in Malawi: Changing Trends between 2012-2022

BackgroundIn recent years, the online gambling market has rapidly developed, and betting has become one of the most popular forms of gambling. The aim of this study was to analyse the interest of the Malawian population in terms related to betting, sports betting, alcohol, cigarettes, and some psychoactive drugs through the relative search volumes of Google Trends. Methods Internet search query data related to betting, sports betting, alcohol, cigarettes, and psychoactive drugs were obtained monthly from Google Trends for the period 2010-2022. Comparisons of interest levels in these topics were conducted in Malawi, and correlation coefficients were calculated.Results In Malawi, relative search volumes for betting and sports betting terms were the highest (average RSVs: 66% and 30%). It was found that from 2019 onwards, the interest in betting and sports-related search topics and keywords increased significantly (p < 0.001). Strong positive correlations were found between betting-related keywords and alcohol and gross domestic product (r = 0.831 and r = 0.901, p < 0.001). A positive correlation was found between betting and psychoactive drug-related terms (minimum r = 0.417, p < 0.01). Conclusions This study concludes that the interest of the Malawian population in betting has increased in recent years, while interest in psychoactive drugs and alcohol remains high. Gross domestic product is highly correlated with society’s interest in betting. It was additionally found that Google Trends can be used as a tool to predict and monitor future risky behaviours, such as gambling disorder.
