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.

This training will introduce participants to available data related to problem gambling and provide a roadmap for how to use that data. We will discuss how to use the data to inform planning, program design, implementation, and ongoing quality improvement. But you don’t have to do it alone! We’ll explore opportunities to partner with community members at every stage of your work.
