This is fascinating (and tragic) - I didn't even think of this when considering the detrimental impact of the pandemic lock down or stay at home measures. I hope this work leads to some meaningful help for the people impacted.
Hello Gillian. Indeed, some people need significant help and we hope our work can raise awareness about that. Thank you for your interest.
Great poster on a timely and important question with implications for our patients, families, and communities. I hope your ongoing studies can include interviews with family members, some validation of gamblers self-report, and some measure of gambling activity and results.
Hello Mr Phillips. Our ongoing study includes indeed interviews with family members. Thank you for your comment!
I have been so disturbed the increase in online gambling with active advertising for it in the US. The increase in psychiatric addiction will show in primary care. Thank you for sharing your work with NAPCRG!
Hello Ms Harper. It is indeed disturbing. Thank you for your concern and comment.
Excellent work- I mentioned on another poster that this used to be a research interested of mine and living in Nevada it was interesting to see how COVID affected many of my patients who use the casino for social interaction. Keep up the great work
Hello Mr Pasternak. Thank you for your comment and for reaching out to Dr Brodeur. It is inspiring for our team!
