Despite increased awareness of the need to begin educating young children about the potential dangers of gambling, empirical knowledge of the prevention of adolescent problem gambling and its translation into science-based prevention initiatives is scarce. This paper poses the question of whether or not the common elements of tobacco, alcohol, and illicit drug abuse prevention programs can be applied to gambling prevention. Common risk and protective factors across addictions, including gambling, appear to point to the need to develop a general model of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. The authors present the need for science-based prevention initiatives and describe a general adolescent risk-taking model as a basis for science-based prevention of adolescent problem gambling and other risk behaviors.
尽管人们越来越意识到有必要开始对幼儿进行赌博潜在危害的教育，但关于预防青少年问题赌博及其转化为基于科学的预防举措的实证知识却很匮乏。本文提出了一个问题，即烟草、酒精和非法药物滥用预防项目的共同要素是否可以应用于赌博预防。包括赌博在内的各种成瘾行为的共同风险和保护因素似乎表明，有必要建立一个一级、二级和三级预防的通用模型。作者提出了基于科学的预防举措的必要性，并描述了一个通用的青少年冒险模型，作为基于科学预防青少年问题赌博和其他风险行为的基础。
