Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to respond to and expand on the ideas presented by Father McGowan in The Ethics of Gambling Research: An Agenda for Mature Analysis. We provide specific recommendations for future research and public policy in the field of gambling studies. We suggest that key conceptual definitions--such as, problem, compulsive, and pathological gambling--should be clarified, established, and distinguished from one another before gambling research is conducted. Proper methodological procedures are recommended, where power analyses, pilot studies, and representative samples are appropriately conducted and analyzed. Retrospective and Prospective studies are considered and differentiated while Discrete Time Event History Analysis--namely, Life Tables Analysis and Discrete Time Logistic Regression--are proposed.
