2011 London Workshop on Problem Gambling: Theory
and (Best) Practice
This workshop took place at Brunel University, London, Tuesday September 13th, 2011
Problem gambling is an inherently complex phenomenon. Dialogue between
diverse fields contributing to theory-building and good practice is a
prerequisite to understanding problem gambling and for effective
prevention, treatment and policy-making.
This one-day workshop was aimed at bringing together researchers, practicioners and
decision-makers interested in or dealing with disordered gambling.
Topics of interest included:
- Empirical studies on problem gambling (prevalence, risk factors,
mechanisms, treatments)
- Theories on gambling and problem gambling behaviour
- Modelling approaches to problem gambling
- Prevention and treatment of problem gambling
- Responsible gaming
- Policy-making
This workshop was co-located with the CHREST
Tutorial: An Introduction to Cognitive Modelling on Wednesday,
September 14th, 2011.
The workshop was supported by funding from the British Academy.
