The role of social support in the association between gambling, poor health and health risk-taking

2016

Aims: Studies have shown that gambling is associated with poor health and health risk-taking behaviour. However, little is known about those factors that can influence the association between gambling, health risk-taking and health.

Methods: Path analysis was used to discover direct and indirect effects of health, health risk-taking and gambling. Results: Social support f…
