Description

As access to gambling expands, many communities remain unaware of the potential harms, the populations disproportionately affected, and the value of an equity-grounded public health approach. This introductory training explores core problem gambling concepts and terminology, key risk and protective factors, populations at elevated risk, and connections to related health issues. Participants will learn how a public health framework can help protect and improve community well-being.

Learning Objectives

  • Identify key components of a public health approach to problem gambling prevention and response.
  • Describe levels of gambling and their associated risks
  • Identify problem gambling risk and protective factors
  • Identify groups at disproportionate risk for developing problem gambling
  • Describe ways problem gambling intersects with other behavioral health issues.

This training has been approved to provide CPS, CAC, CADC, CADC II, and CHW CEU’s.
