2021 Measuring incidence and prevalence gambling related harms in the Northern Territory
This report presents an analysis of gambling-related harms data from the 2015 and 2018 NT Gambling Prevalence and Wellbeing Surveys.
It reports on the development of a list of harms for use in the 2015 and 2018 NT Gambling Prevalence and Wellbeing Surveys. Prevalence and incidence of gambling harms are presented for 5 domains:
- emotional/psychological
- financial
- relationship/family
- work/study and
- criminal.
Incidence rates were highest for emotional/psychological and financial harm domains. As problem gambling risk increases, incidence rates of harm across all domains increase.
The results will be of use to:
- policy makers in government tasked with developing legislation and regulatory approaches to minimise harms associated with gambling
- industry in understanding risks and harms from gambling
- counselling services treating clients experiencing gambling-related harms.
