Results of gambling survey to be published

Publication Date: Wed, 03 Oct 2012 07:33

The results of the Isle of Man’s first gambling study will be published tomorrow.

In January 4000 gambling prevalence surveys were sent to random households on the Island – the first time a study like this has been attempted.

Almost 2,000 people returned them confidentially, offering their views and attitudes towards the pastime.

GamCare will present the results at a public lecture on Thursday.

Support worker Lynsey Smart explains why the exercise needed to be conducted:
