    Older adult gambling in Oregon: An epidemiological survey
    (Oregon Gambling Addiction Treatment Foundation, 2001-04) Moore, Thomas L.
    This study, conducted in the summer and fall of 2000, was the third in a series of four epidemiological studies commissioned by the Oregon Gambling Addiction Treatment Foundation (OGATF) since it’s founding in 1997. The goal of the first three studies was to establish empirical evidence of gambling behaviors among Oregonians and to estimate the rates of disordered gambling in the state. The objective in providing this empirical evidence was envisioned as creating impetus for statewide, data-based strategic planning to better ensure adequate allocation of resources for prevention, identification, referral, and treatment of disordered gamblers and their families. The fourth study, commissioned simultaneously with this study, was a replication of the original adult prevalence study.

    Oregon youth and their parents: Gambling and problem gambling prevalence and attitudes
    (Oregon Department of Human Services, 2008-03) Volberg, Rachel A.; Hedberg, Eric C.; Moore, Thomas L.
    This report presents the results of the second survey of gambling and problem gambling among adolescents in Oregon. The main purpose of this study was to assess the extent of gambling and problem gambling among adolescents in Oregon. Another important purpose of this study was to examine the interplay between parental and adolescent gambling attitudes and involvement in predicting youth gambling participation and problems. The study took advantage of the need to obtain informed consent from a parent or guardian before speaking with an adolescent in the household to complete an assessment of the parent or guardian’s gambling attitudes, behavior and knowledge. A sample of 1,555 matched pairs of Oregon parents and adolescents aged 12 to 17 was interviewed between May and August, 2007. The results of this study are intended to assist in the further development and refinement of services in Oregon for youth with gambling problems and their families.

    This study was conducted by the Oregon Gambling Addiction Treatment Foundation as part of an ongoing effort to provide empirical evidence to policy and decision makers, program managers, and the interested public regarding the estimated prevalence of problem and pathological gambling among Oregonians. Over the past 10 years, the Foundation has commissioned 6 major studies including the first adult gambling prevalence study in 1997, the first adolescent gambling prevalence study in 1998, the first older adult gambling prevalence study and an adult gambling prevalence replication study in 2001, an etiological study of pathological gambling in 2002, and this adult gambling prevalence replication study.

    Problem gambling prevalence in the Oregon criminal justice system: Internal report
    (Oregon Health Authority, 2018-06) Moore, Thomas L.
    The intention of this project was to provide a baseline estimate of the prevalence of gambling and gambling problems in the DOC prison populations. The study design was a rudimentary survey format from an opportunity sample of individuals being processed at the Coffee Creek Intake Center. Due to time constraints relating to paperwork processing and operational requirements the consensus was to develop a basic survey that would take only a few minutes to complete but would provide data that was comparable to data collected in recent Oregon gambling prevalence studies. The goal was to survey at least 1,000 participants as a simple opportunity sample of individuals being processed at the Coffee Creek Intake Center. Data collection began in December, 2017 and ended in April 2018.
