High Stakes: College Gambling Introduction

A 2001 Harvard study of college-age gamblers estimated them to be three times more at risk for problem gambling than adults. (Shaffer & Hall 2001)

The rate for monthly card playing by 14-22 year old males increased 20% between the 2004 and 2005 survey National Annenberg Risk Survey of Youth.

Why aren't we taking the issue of problem gambling among college-age students seriously?
