2008 Louisiana Study on Problem Gambling

Abstract

The 2008 study is the latest in a series on the prevalence of legalized gambling in Louisiana. The report, much like those preceding it, focuses on problem gambling, the distribution of gambling establishments, and the prevalence of problems in the various regions of the state. The present report provides updated information and expands on some areas of interest established by the earlier studies. One area in which the present study adds to the knowledge base on gambling in Louisiana is in the provision of data on youth gambling.
