This edited volume aims to facilitate the evolution of the new
public health approach towards gambling. Bringing together the work
of international experts, it gives a current overview of the field,
highlighting the need for a coordinated framework of prevention and
harm reduction measures to replace current "player protection"
measures. Chapters begin by exploring the impact of problem
gambling, looking at its effects on several levels, ranging from
the individual to the family and society. Subsequently an overview
of prevention and harm reduction models is presented, bringing the
reader to an in-depth understanding of what a public health
approach to gambling would entail. Later chapters focus on
potential challenges to monitoring and evaluation, inviting the
reader to envisage possible barriers towards implementation and
ways of overcoming these. The book concludes with recommendations
on how to take a harm reduction approach, from a political and
human rights perspective. This work gives a rare synopsis of the
present-day issues when considering the implementation of a harm
reduction strategy for gambling. Recent work by key professionals
is presented in order to encourage further developments in this
ever-changing domain. Such issues will be relevant to all those
with an interest in the field of problem gambling, from clinicians,
students and healthcare professionals, to politicians.
