College student sports betting experiences and behaviors at a U.S. public university.
Objective: The primary goal was to evaluate college student sports gambling experiences and behaviors. Participants: A college student convenience sample (n = 575) was recruited at an on-campus health service during the fall 2024 semester. Methods: Clinical, public health, and health promotion staff collaborated to create a 16-item survey derived from validated screening tools, a recent national poll, and novel questions of interest informed by staff experience. Descriptive statistics summarize key data, chi-square analysis evaluates demographic differences, and an exploratory thematic analysis categorizes qualitative feedback. Results: There were significant differences (p < 0.05) in sports gambling experiences and behaviors for enrollment level and gender. Students reported knowing people with sports betting problems, experiencing pressure to sports gamble, and expressed concern about the online sports betting industry. Bettors endorsed several at risk behaviors. Conclusion: These findings identify opportunities for greater research, prevention, and support of college students around this rapidly evolving issue.
