We are delighted to invite you to a webinar led by Dr Steve Sharman, Research Fellow, The National Addiction Centre at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN), at King’s College London. Steve will discuss his latest work on gambling and suicide. Steve is a specialist in gambling research and is an Academic Fellow of the Society for the Study of Addiction.
This webinar will provide an overview of casinos’ potential liability in negligence for contributing to the risk of excessive gambling, with comparisons to the well-established liability of licensed alcohol providers.
Risk factors include game design, loyalty programs, and an absence of harm-limiting mechanisms.
Gambling is related to many public health outcomes.
In this webinar, Dr Elton-Marshall will provide recent findings from several studies exploring the extent to which gambling relates to behavioural addictions, substance use, bullying, and physical activity among adolescents in Ontario.
This webinar will examine the frequent co-occurrence of gambling disorders and other substance use and mental health disorders. It will look at the correlation between gambling and other disorders from the perspective of individuals presenting for treatment for gambling disorders and individuals presenting for treatment of substance use or mental health disorders.
