There is a paucity of research examining prospective predictors of problem gambling. The current study utilised a large longitudinal data set (N = 2328) to examine a large range of adolescent risk and protective factors for problem gambling in young adulthood. These risk and protective factors covered the domains of the community, family, school, peer group and individual. Numerous predictors associated with the family, school and peer-individual were statistically significant in analyses adjusted for gender and age. However, in the fully adjusted multivariate analyses, only two predictors were statistically significant. Within this model, gender (female) was associated with a reduced risk of young adult problem gambling, while family rewards for prosocial involvement moderated the risk relationship between adolescent alcohol use and young adult problem gambling. These findings highlight the importance of adolescent alcohol use and family environment as potentially modifiable predictors of young adult problem gambling.
研究青少年成年期赌博问题的前瞻性预测因素的文献很少。本研究利用一个大型纵向数据集（N=2328），研究了青少年在成年期赌博问题的一系列广泛风险和保护因素。这些风险和保护因素涵盖了社区、家庭、学校、同伴群体和个人等领域。在调整了性别和年龄的分析中，许多与家庭、学校和同伴-个体相关的预测因素具有统计学意义。然而，在完全调整的多元分析中，只有两个预测因素具有统计学意义。在这个模型中，性别（女性）与青少年成年期赌博问题的风险降低相关，而家庭对亲社会参与的奖励则调节了青少年饮酒与青少年成年期赌博问题之间的风险关系。这些发现强调了青少年饮酒和家庭环境作为青少年成年期赌博问题潜在可改变预测因素的重要性。
