Riassunto

Gli ultimi 10 anni hanno testimoniato un rinnovato interesse per gli aspetti negativi del gioco d’azzardo. Commissioni nazionali in Australia, Nuova Zelanda, Regno Unito e Stati Uniti hanno iniziato a esaminare i benefici economici e i costi sociali dell’espansione del gioco d’azzardo. Contemporaneamente, i ricercatori hanno intrapreso un processo di valutazione delle conseguenze negative del gioco d’azzardo problematico e patologico per le popolazioni ad alto rischio. Nonostante queste problematiche siano state viste come di pertinenza dell’etá adulta, prove recenti indicano che il gioco d’azzardo é un’attivitá popolare tra i giovani. É stato stimato che tra il 4 e l’8% degli adolescenti ha, attualmente, un problema grave legato al gioco d’azzardo e che un altro 10–14% rimane a rischio di sviluppo di un disturbo grave legato al gioco d’azzardo (Jacobs 2000; National Research Council 1999; Shaffer e Hall 1996) (Capitolo 5, “Adolescenti e giovani adulti”)..
