Background:

  • Problem gambling is a significant public health issue.
  • Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a prevalent social problem.
  • The co-occurrence of problem gambling, anger, and IPV requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the prevalence and severity of intimate partner violence (IPV) among problem gamblers.
  • To identify risk factors associated with IPV perpetration and victimization in this population.
  • To inform the development of targeted interventions and public policy.
