This exploratory study investigates the prevalence of gambling, preferred types of gambling, and problem gambling in Swedish young people aged 15-18 years with and without hearing loss.
A cross-sectional health survey was conducted in Örebro County, Sweden in 2014. A standardized questionnaire was distributed to 4888 students, and 4329 filled it. There were 318 (8 %) students with hearing loss. The response rate was 82 %. The 2-item Lie/Bet questionnaire (Johnson et al. in Psychol Rep 80:83-88, 1997) was used for measuring problem gambling.
More students with hearing loss had gambled during their lifetime (35 %) and in the past year (25 %) than their hearing counterparts (lifetime: 24 %; past-year: 19 %). More students with hearing loss compared to normal hearing students were identified as problem gamblers (7.7 % compared to 4.3 %).
More research is needed on gambling among people with hearing loss as well as other disabilities.
本探索性研究调查了瑞典15至18岁有听力损失和无听力损失的年轻人中赌博的流行情况、偏好的赌博类型以及问题赌博情况。
2014年在瑞典厄勒布鲁县进行了一项横断面健康调查。向4888名学生发放了标准化问卷,4329名学生填写了问卷。其中有318名(8%)学生有听力损失。回复率为82%。使用2项谎言/赌注问卷(约翰逊等人,《心理报告》80:83 - 88,1997年)来测量问题赌博。
与听力正常的学生相比,有听力损失的学生中终身赌博(35%)和过去一年赌博(25%)的比例更高(终身:24%;过去一年:19%)。与听力正常的学生相比,有听力损失的学生中被认定为问题赌徒的比例更高(分别为7.7%和4.3%)。
需要对有听力损失以及其他残疾的人群中的赌博情况进行更多研究。
