The present study examined adult gambling behaviours from a local perspective in order to assess the adult at risk and problem gambler's profile stratified by genre and by different forms of game. 4773 Italian adults from 18 to 94 years old were administered a survey to assess socio-cultural information related to gambling behaviour and the SOGS to evaluate gambling behaviour severity. Logistic regression evidenced that both at risk and problem gamblers are associated with male gender, players that use to play to more than one game, gambling with strategy-based games. People with a gambler father or both parents who used to gamble were significantly more associated with problem gambling behaviour than participants with non-gambler parents. These results present adult profiles of at risk and problem providing a more clear understanding about the relationships between gambling behavior severity and type of gambling.
本研究从本地视角考察了成年人的赌博行为，旨在评估风险和问题赌徒的特征，对不同类型和不同形式的赌博进行分层。4773 名年龄在 18 至 94 岁之间的意大利成年人接受了一项调查，以评估与赌博行为相关的社会文化信息，以及用于评估赌博行为严重程度的 SOGS。逻辑回归表明，风险和问题赌徒都与男性性别、玩多种游戏的玩家、玩策略类游戏的赌徒有关。与父母均不赌博的参与者相比，有赌徒父亲或父母双方均有赌博习惯的参与者更易出现问题赌博行为。这些结果提供了风险和问题成年人的特征，更清楚地了解了赌博行为严重程度和赌博类型之间的关系。
