Abstract
The purpose of this study was to provide an accurate estimate of the prevalence of problem gambling among Alberta Native youth and to determine the personal, cultural, social and financial factors related to gambling and problem gambling. The study surveyed 1,000 Aboriginal students from all regions of Alberta (including Reserve and urban populations). The survey asked questions concerning leisure/cultural activities, smoking habits and the use of intoxicants as well as gambling activity of both the students and their families.
