Gambling and problem gambling are increasingly being viewed as a public health issue. European surveys have reported a high prevalence of gambling, and according to the Gambling Commission, in 2018, almost half of the general population aged 16 and over in England had participated in gambling in the 4 weeks prior to being surveyed. The potential harms associated with gambling and problem are broad, including harms to individuals, their friends and family, and society. There is a need to better understand the nature of this issue, including its risk factors. The purpose of this study is to identify and examine the risk factors associated with gambling and problem gambling.
An umbrella review will be conducted, where systematic approaches will be used to identify, appraise and synthesise systematic reviews and meta-analyses of risk factors for gambling and problem gambling. The review will include systematic reviews and meta-analyses published between 2005 and 2019, in English language, focused on any population and any risk factor, and of quantitative or qualitative studies. Electronic searches will be conducted in Ovid MEDLINE, Ovid Embase, Ovid PsycInfo, NICE Evidence and SocIndex via EBSCO, and a range of websites will be searched for grey literature. Reference lists will be scanned for additional papers and experts will be contacted. Screening, quality assessment and data extraction will be conducted in duplicate, and quality assessment will be conducted using AMSTAR-2. A narrative synthesis will be used to summarise the results.
The results of this review will provide a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the risk factors associated with gambling and problem gambling. It will be used by Public Health England as part of a broader evidence review of gambling-related harms.

将进行伞式审查,其中将采用系统方法来确定、评估和综合赌博和赌博问题风险因素的系统评价和荟萃分析。审查将包括 2005 年至 2019 年期间发表的系统评价和荟萃分析,使用英语,关注任何人群和任何风险因素,以及定量或定性研究。将在 Ovid MEDLINE、Ovid Embase、Ovid PsycInfo、NICE Evidence 和 EBSCO 中的 SocIndex 中进行电子检索,并将在一系列网站上搜索灰色文献。将扫描参考文献列表以获取其他论文,并联系专家。筛选、质量评估和数据提取将由两人进行,使用 AMSTAR-2 进行质量评估。将使用叙述性综合法总结结果。
本综述的结果将提供对与赌博和赌博问题相关的风险因素的全面和最新的理解。它将由英国公共卫生署作为对赌博相关危害进行更广泛证据审查的一部分。
