Abstract

While US evidence indicates that gambling problems may be significant issues in military and veteran populations, limited evidence exists elsewhere.

This project evaluated the frequency of gambling problems, and resultant mental health, wellbeing and psychosocial implications, in Australian Defence Force (ADF) military personnel. Data was collected from post-deployment surveys completed by ADF personnel within four months of returning from the Middle East Area of Operations, and included the nine-item Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI).
