Aims This study explores the prevalence of being a past-year affected other (AO) of a problem gambler by gender. The aims were to study the amount and type of gambling-related harms (GRHs) for subgroups of AOs and to distinguish GRH profiles for AO subgroups. Methods A total of 7186 adults aged 18 years and over participated in the Gambling Harms Survey evaluating year 2016. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression. Results Of all respondents, 12.9% were defined as past-year AOs (women 13.7%; men 12.1%). The proportion of affected non-family members (ANFs) was 8.4%, and 5.6% were affected family members (AFMs). AFMs were usually women, and ANFs were usually men. Emotional, relationship, and financial harms were the most common types of harm. The odds of experiencing financial harm were highest for the 18- to 34-year-olds (OR 1.82) and for those whose partner/ex-partner had a gambling problem (OR 3.91). Having a parent/step-parent (OR 1.93) and child/stepchild (OR 3.64) increased the odds of experiencing emotional harm, whereas male gender (OR 0.50) and being an ANF (OR 0.58) decreased emotional harm. Relationship harm was evident for partners/ex-partners (OR 1.97-5.07). Conclusions GRH profiles for AO subgroups varied, which emphasizes the need for effective harm minimization strategies for those in need.
目的 本研究探讨了性别因素对过去一年受问题赌徒影响的其他人（AO）的患病率。目的是研究 AO 亚组的与赌博相关的伤害（GRH）的数量和类型，并区分 AO 亚组的 GRH 特征。
方法 共有 7186 名 18 岁及以上的成年人参加了 2016 年的赌博危害调查，使用描述性统计和二元逻辑回归分析数据。
结果 在所有受访者中，有 12.9%被定义为过去一年的 AO（女性 13.7%，男性 12.1%）。受影响的非家庭成员（ANFs）的比例为 8.4%，受影响的家庭成员（AFMs）的比例为 5.6%。AFMs 通常是女性，ANFs 通常是男性。情感、关系和财务伤害是最常见的伤害类型。18-34 岁人群（OR 1.82）和伴侣/前伴侣有赌博问题的人群（OR 3.91）经历财务伤害的可能性最高。有父母/继父/母（OR 1.93）和孩子/继子女（OR 3.64）会增加遭受情感伤害的可能性，而男性性别（OR 0.50）和作为 ANF（OR 0.58）会降低情感伤害。伴侣/前伴侣（OR 1.97-5.07）会出现关系伤害。
结论 AO 亚组的 GRH 特征不同，这强调了需要为有需要的人制定有效的伤害最小化策略。
