Amongst the findings, this study reports that 84% of the population gamble responsibly; that is, they gamble for entertainment, recreational, or social reasons and have never experienced problems related to their gambling. However, the study also estimates that 4.0% of the adult population in Alberta are currently experiencing gambling problems and that an additional 1.4% of the adult population are currently probable pathological gamblers. Following the release of this study in January, 1994, the Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission (AADAC) was entrusted with a mandate from the government to develop preventive, educative, and treatment responsal programs and services to mitigate problem gambling throughout the Province. To assist AADAC counselling staff in this important work, a secondary analysis of the Alberta study data was conducted relative to problem gambling in the female population and this report includes the findings and implications of this secondary data analysis.1345460 bytesapplication/pdfenProblem gambling--AlbertaProblem gambling--FemalesGambling--AlbertaAlberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission (AADAC)Gambling and Problem Gambling in Alberta (Wynne, Smith,and Volberg, 1994)Gambling LiteratureOther10.11575/PRISM/9509
