4 The road more travelled... Most gambling epidemiology studies are cross sectional and/or retrospective Assess current participation and problems (prevalence) Give an indication of past participation and problems Provide information on distribution and potential risk/protective factors Additional information, e.g. help-seeking Frequently methodologically compromised Limitations - temporal sequence, causal inference, risk/protective factors for problem onset and progression Prevalence study 'replications' provide estimates of change over time (snapshots at population level) Page 4
5 Travelling the road A wider variety of research methods, including longitudinal studies. would broaden our base of knowledge about gambling and problem gambling Abbott and Volberg (1996) The road less travelled moving from distribution to determinants in the study of gambling epidemiology. Shaffer et al (2004) The hope that this road will become more travelled and in the process help shift the focus of gambling studies from gambling distribution to gambling determinants. Abbott and Clarke (2007) Page 5
6 Early journeys along the road Early longitudinal studies - shortcomings: Usually Clinical populations Short time spans Mix of 'add-ons' and stand alone studies Mostly small/moderate samples not representative of general population Various methodological problems including high attrition Psychological focus Prospective (longitudinal) important: Page 6 Volberg (2010) el-guebaly et. al (2008) Relatively little knowledge re people who report problems at a particular point in time (prevalence) and whether these will resolve over time- stability of condition Provides insights into incidence or the number of new cases that develop over time Delfabbfro (2013)
7 Background Objectives to explore: Risks and vulnerabilities related to changes in gambling status Incidence Movements in and out of PGSI states Eleven hypotheses (including) Gamblers move in and out of PGSI states Problem gambling is transitory in nature Co morbidities are clustered together Chasing wins to cover losses is the biggest predictor of problem gambling Contextual factors contribute to problem gambling EGMs and other continuous forms of play are more likely to result in problem gambling than non continuous forms of play Gamblers with moderately high PGSI scores are more likely to transition to problem gambling.

12 Gambling participation questions Gambling participation in 12 activities: informal private betting; electronic gaming machines (EGMs); table games (e.g, blackjack, roulette, poker); horse or harness racing or greyhounds; sports and event results; Lotto, Powerball or the Pools; Keno; scratch tickets; bingo; telephone or SMS competitions; raffles, sweeps and other competitions; and speculative stock investments. Gambling behaviour using the Problem Gambling Screening Index (PGSI): Nine-item index with scores from 0 to 27 Non-gambler, non-problem gambler (PGSI=0), low-risk gambler (PGSI=1-2), moderate-risk gambler (PGSI=3-7), problem gambler (PGSI=8-27) Lifetime risk of gambling using NORC DSM-IV Screen for Gambling Problems Control, Lying and Preoccupation (NODS-CLiP2) scale: Lifetime non-problem gambler (NODS=0); lifetime at-risk gambler (NODS=1,2); lifetime problem gambler (NODS=3-4); lifetime pathological gambler (NODS 5) Page 12
13 PGSI and NODS CLiP2 PGSI Measures past year risk Non gambler 0 Non problem gambler 0 Low risk gambler 1-2 Moderate risk gambler 3-7 Problem gambler 8+ NODS CLiP2 Measures lifetime risk Lifetime non problem 0 Lifetime at risk1-2 Lifetime problem gambler 3-4 Lifetime pathological gambler 5+
14 Health and wellbeing questions Core non-gambling questions W1 W2 W3 W4 Health, K10, readiness to change, life events, recreation, smoking CAGE etc Additional contextual questions for specific waves Global Financial Crises (W2) Economic Stimulus Package (W2) Vic Bushfires (W2) Linked Jackpots (W3) Major sporting events (W3) Additional social capital (W4) Trauma and hardship (W1 and W4) Loneliness (W4) Page 14
15 Some findings Prevalence (total stock) Vic prevalence rate from wave one - 0.7% Incidence (new cases) 12 month incidence rate 0.36% (95% CI 0.21% %) NODS CLiP2 0.12% (CI 0.03% %) - (of 0.36%) new problem gamblers 0.24% (CI 0.13% %) - (of 0.36%) previous history of path/problem gambling relapse Page 15
16 Co-morbidities Co-morbidity: a condition (or disorder) existing simultaneously but independently with another condition in a person, or a condition (or disorder) in a person that causes, is caused by, or is otherwise related to another condition in the same person. Valderas et al. (2009) Shaffer and Korn (2002) believe that the complex relationships between co-morbid disorders include the possibilities that: both disorders are independent of each other one disorder protects against the other one disorder causes the other both disorders share the same cause or are components of a more complex set of symptoms Page 16
17 Co-morbidities Co-morbidities (from various cross sectional studies) and problem gamblers: Depression: 37-71% Anxiety disorders: 41-60% Severe psychological distress: 25-30% Personality disorders: 61% (US) Nicotine dependence: 47-64% Alcohol abuse & dependence: 48-72% Drug dependence: 38% (US) Suicide ideation: 9-27% In Victoria more likely to report poor health, lung conditions, obesity and a disability affecting everyday life (wave one).

20 Co-morbidities Yeah I ve been, I ve had mental problems since I was little, for social phobia and growing up I was anorexic for ten years, so I didn t go to school, I was hospitalised my whole teenage adolescence and the children s but yeah, it was just always depression, obsessive compulsive disorder and ahm, borderline personality disorder, so. female qualitative study, Victorian Gambling Study, I had the accident, I feel like, I can t do a lot and just you know you get a bit depressed, do you know what I mean? male qualitative study, Victorian Gambling Study But that s what happens. You get depressed, you go and blow your money and then you re depressed because you ve blown your money. So work that out. male qualitative study, Victorian Gambling Study Page 20

22 Alcohol abuse Page 22
23 Life event triggers Page 23
24 Co-morbidities Chicken or egg? Little research that clarifies how the onset of problem gambling relates temporally to the onset of other disorders. Question 1 The relationship between onset (new cases) of high risk (MR/PG) gambling behaviour and co morbidities Question 2 The relationship between onset (new cases) of co morbidities and high risk (MR/PG) gambling behaviour Page 24
25 Co-morbidities The onset of co-morbidities Question 2 The significant variables were: being male (OR=2.0, CI , p=0.002) age (OR= 1.02, CI , p=0.008) disability (OR=2.1, CI , p=0.028), and PGSI problem gambling risk category (OR=4.2, CI , p= 0.061). Page 25
26 Co-morbidities Question 1 The onset of high risk gambling Scoring as an at-risk lifetime gambler (NODS CLiP2) was significantly associated with new onset of high risk gambling behaviour during the study period (OR=6.3, p=0.007, CI ). Any health condition (OR=2.7, p=0.027, CI ) Current smoker (OR=2.7, p=0.035, CI ) Further analysis on any health condition Participants with anxiety were x 4 more likely to develop MRPG (OR=4.0 p=0.036, CI ) [adjusted for NODS and smoking] Page 26

33 Person time Wave One July October 2008 What is person years? The time at risk for all persons in a population Each year a participant contributes to a study = one person year In our study 3686 participants completed all four waves = 14,744 person years Page 33
34 Person time Wave One July October 2008 Most problem gamblers (71%) were likely to remain problem gamblers from one year to the next Approximately 22% of problem gamblers were likely to decrease to moderate risk The probability that problem gamblers were likely to cease gambling was close to zero (0.1%) Moderate risk (9%) had the greatest probability of becoming problem gamblers Non gamblers or non problem gamblers had a very low probability of becoming problem gamblers (0.1%) Page 34

36 Challenges and learnings Ambitious project Multi supplier model (international, national) (Baseline + additional) funding Time - lack thereof (govt dept) Analysis, analysis, analysis (for example, response rate with priorities) Definitional changes Measurement (PGSI anchors, definitional changes etc) Page 36
37 Challenges and learnings Attrition (endeavour to counteract) Awareness of mortality (loss of research staff) Collaboration- international doh moments - what should have been asked Familiarity Spreading the word Replication Page 37
38 Where to from here? Short cohort follow up survey in ? (another world first) - report changes over 7-8 years? Short, sharp three-monthly follow up of participants to see short term transitions? Examine remaining hypotheses Secondary analyses currently underway Use findings for targeted prevention (e.g. MR to PG) Collaboration with Sweden & New Zealand & USA (article in press) & data pooling Fact sheets underway Peer reviewed articles (methods paper submitted) Delivery of findings via presentations Page 38 (Caution: findings need to be confirmed via other studies)
