Two national U.S. telephone surveys of gambling were conducted, an adult survey (age 18 and over, N = 2,631) in 1999-2000 and a youth (age 14-21, N = 2,274) survey in 2005-2007. The data from these surveys were combined to examine the prevalence of any gambling, frequent gambling and problem gambling across the lifespan. These types of gambling involvement increased in frequency during the teens, reached a high level in the respondents' 20s and 30s, and then fell off in as the respondents aged. The notion that gambling involvement generally, and especially problem gambling, is most prevalent during the teens was not supported. A comparison of the age patterns of gambling involvement and alcohol involvement showed that alcohol involvement peaks at a younger age than gambling involvement; and thus, the theory that deviant behaviors peak at an early age applies more to alcohol than to gambling.
美国进行了两次全国性的电话赌博调查，一次是在 1999-2000 年对成年人（18 岁及以上，N=2631）进行的调查，另一次是在 2005-2007 年对青少年（14-21 岁，N=2274）进行的调查。这些调查的数据被合并，以研究一生中任何形式的赌博、频繁赌博和问题赌博的流行率。在青少年时期，这些类型的赌博参与度的频率增加，在受访者 20 多岁和 30 多岁时达到高峰，然后随着受访者年龄的增长而下降。赌博参与度普遍存在，尤其是问题赌博，在青少年时期最为普遍的观点并没有得到支持。赌博参与度和酒精参与度的年龄模式比较表明，酒精参与度在比赌博参与度更早的年龄达到高峰；因此，越轨行为在早期达到高峰的理论更适用于酒精，而不是赌博。
