| ABSTRACT |
Objectives:
This study aims to examine college students` gambling behavior and investigates the effect of factors on problem gambling, such as personal characteristics, gambling history, and health risk behaviors.
Methods:
The subjects of the study were students selected from six colleges in Busan, Korea. A total of 431 questionnaires were used in the final analysis.
Results:
First, the results showed that more than 60% of respondents had gambled in the past year. The most popular forms of gambling were the lottery, followed by card betting, sports betting, and online gambling, betting on horse-racing, cycle-racing, and motorboat-racing games, and casino games. Second, frequent smoking and drinking increased the incidence of the problem gambling. Third, it was revealed that gender and age were negatively correlated with gambling, while the frequency of gambling activities and the number of previous gambling experiences were positively correlated with problem gambling behavior.
Conclusions:
Ongoing preventive screening and early intervention must be made a priority to prevent college students` gambling behavior from reaching serious levels. |
