Problematic gambling is common in college students, and in particular, athletes.
The frequency of problem and pathological gambling was determined among 636 college athletes at three Midwest universities using the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS). The Gambling Attitude Scale (GAS) was used to assess college athletes' attitudes toward gambling in general and toward four modes of gambling (casinos, betting on horse races, lottery and the Internet). A profile of college athletes' gambling attitudes and behavior was developed through the data obtained from each of these instruments.
Nearly 15% of respondents had a SOGS score >or=3, indicating problem or pathological gambling. Those at risk for a gambling problem gambled frequently, had family and/or friends with perceived gambling problems, were nonwhite, older, started gambling at a younger age, preferred games of skill, and held positive attitudes toward gambling in general and Internet gambling, in particular.
Gambling problems are widespread among college athletes who constitute a vulnerable group. Specific interventions are needed to target this group.
问题性赌博在大学生中很常见，尤其是运动员。
使用南橡树赌博筛查量表（SOGS）对中西部三所大学的636名大学生运动员的问题性和病理性赌博频率进行了测定。赌博态度量表（GAS）用于评估大学生运动员对一般赌博以及对四种赌博方式（赌场、赛马投注、彩票和互联网赌博）的态度。通过从这些工具中获得的数据，建立了大学生运动员赌博态度和行为的概况。
近15%的受访者SOGS得分≥3，表明存在问题性或病理性赌博。有赌博问题风险的人赌博频繁，有家人和/或朋友被认为有赌博问题，非白人，年龄较大，开始赌博的年龄较小，更喜欢技巧性游戏，并且总体上对赌博尤其是互联网赌博持积极态度。
赌博问题在构成弱势群体的大学生运动员中普遍存在。需要针对这一群体采取具体干预措施。
