Epidemiology of Problem Gambling in a Canadian Community

N. Faregh - Nama Orang; J. Derevensky - Nama Orang;

Pathological gambling became a public health concern in most countries in the 1990s, shortly after the liberalization of gambling policies and practices. Various communitywide surveys have examined population-level gambling behaviours, the prevalence of gambling problems, their
antecedents, and their correlates. Early studies suggest that approximately 3–5 % of a given population have some level of gambling problems and that this prevalence is relatively stable across communities and among most countries (Doiron and Nicki 2001). However, there is evidence of changing patterns of gambling behaviour across communities and possibly a change in prevalence rates (Stucki and Rihs-Middel 2007). Saskatchewan is a prairie province in Canada with a population estimate of 1.04 million (Saskatchewan Bureau of Statistics 2010). Gambling revenues suggest that gaming activities are popular in Saskatchewan, with residents having multiple gambling options available. The provincial
gaming net revenues from wagers on government-controlled games have steadily increased from $62 million in 1992 to $641 million in 2008. Saskatchewan’s gambling revenue per capita was the second lowest in Canada after the northern territories in 1992 ($86), but increased to the
highest per capita revenue in 2008 ($825); the national average was $528 (Statistics Canada 2006, 2007, 2009). These increases are likely due to increases in and better access to gambling venues and similar to gambling revenue increases in other parts of Canada.
