Prevention Approaches
Prevention plays an important role in reducing the harmful effects of problem gambling. Some effective prevention practices include the following:
- Change the conditions in the environment
- Support the development of knowledge and skills
- Ensure prevention efforts are tailored to a population’s level of risk
- Ensure prevention efforts are integrated into existing public health prevention efforts
Problem gambling prevention approaches include the Photovoice Project, the Ambassador Project and the Community Health Worker Pilot Project.
