Abstract
This survey of Maryland households was conducted between August and October of 2017 to assess changes in gambling prevalence in the Maryland population following introduction of casino gambling in 2010. The goal was to obtain updated information about gambling behavior among Marylanders, particularly disordered gambling behavior, and compare 2017 data with results from the baseline evaluation carried out in 2010. With this second iteration of the statewide telephone survey, the state can gain insights about the evolution of disordered gambling after the opening six casinos.
