Abstract

University students may be at increased risk of gambling related problems. The present study investigated the gambling experience and general wellbeing of domestic and international students attending a higher-education university in the United Kingdom (UK). An online survey consisting of demographic characteristics, gambling experience, problem gambling severity, and general mental health measures was completed by n=402 undergraduates. Results indicated that 44% of students engaged in at-risk gambling and 6% in PG. General mental health scores did not differ across gambling severity. Male gender identity was a significant risk-factor for both at-risk and PG. Accessing university financial hardship funds and being in the final year of study were significant riskfactors for problem gambling. Overall, gambling problems are significant concerns for UK university students and the risk of problematic gambling is associated with financial hardship, year of study, and gender.

英国大学生的赌博问题:与性别、经济困难和学习年份的关系
大学生赌博相关问题的风险可能会增加。本研究调查了在英国高等教育大学就读的国内和国际学生的赌博经历和总体幸福感。对402名大学生进行了一项在线调查,包括人口统计学特征、赌博经历、问题赌博严重程度和一般心理健康措施。结果表明,44%的学生参与高危赌博,6%的学生参与PG。总体心理健康得分在赌博严重程度上没有差异。男性性别认同是高风险和PG的重要风险因素。获得大学经济困难基金和进入最后一年的学习是问题赌博的重要风险因素。总的来说,赌博问题是英国大学生非常关注的问题,赌博问题的风险与经济困难、学习年份和性别有关。
