Drug and Alcohol Review
|February 15, 2018
Summary
Gambling industry influence in research can hinder effective harm reduction strategies. Eliminating industry participation in research forums is crucial for developing unbiased, effective gambling harm prevention measures.
Area of Science:
- Public Health
- Social Science
- Policy Studies
Background:
- Gambling research is significantly influenced by the gambling industry.
- This influence mirrors that of the alcohol and tobacco industries, potentially delaying harm reduction.
- Gambling harms are substantial and widespread, necessitating unbiased research.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe gambling industry influence in research forums.
- To analyze the effects of industry-funded research on discourse and outcomes.
- To propose reforms for unbiased gambling research.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of industry activity in three research forums.
- Discussion of tobacco and alcohol industry parallels.
- Examination of industry-funded research discourse and effects.
Main Results:
- Gambling industry involvement demonstrably affects gambling literature.
- Material and discursive effects of industry influence are evident.
- Consequences for the evidence base of harm prevention are presented.
Conclusions:
- Industry influence operates at multiple levels in gambling research.
- Awareness of industry effects on harm prevention is growing.
- Reforms include eliminating industry sponsorship and establishing independent forums.

Cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization are the methods that help to break the infection chain and prevent disease.
Cleaning
The cleaning process usually involves using water with detergents or enzymatic cleaner and removing foreign material from objects and surfaces, including organic material such as body fluids or inorganic material like soil. Cleaning is performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization because foreign materials on the cover of the devices interfere with process...

The International System of Units or SI system, by international agreement, has fixed measurement units for seven fundamental properties: length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount of substance, and luminosity. These are called the SI base units.

02:18Types of Genetic Transfer Between Organisms
31.1K
Genetic transfer occurs when genetic information is passed from one organism to another. It occurs via two mechanisms: vertical gene transfer and horizontal gene transfer. Vertical gene transfer occurs when genetic information is transferred from one generation to the next, which happens much more frequently than horizontal gene transfer. Both sexual and asexual reproduction are forms of vertical gene transfer, where one or more organisms pass some or all of their genome onto their progeny.
