“…Analyzing the relationship between adolescent gambling and smoking in a sample of Connecticut secondary school students, Weinberger et al (2015b) showed evidence that smokers gambled more severely than non-smokers. A second study based on the same sample found out that gamblers at risk are more likely to be regular smokers, start smoking at a younger age, and smoke with greater intensity (Weinberger et al, 2015a); these findings are in line with the findings from a study among Spanish students (Míguez & Becona, 2015). These results are consistent with recognized theories of adolescent substance use such as Jessor's problem-behavior theory (Donovan, Jessor, & Costa, 1991;Jessor, 1991) or general deviance syndrome theory (McGee & Newcomb, 1992), claiming that various forms of risk behavior and attitudes coexist among adolescents.…”

Problem gambling among Czech adolescents: An exploration of its relationship to early initiation of tobacco smoking

et al. 2019

Background and aims Gambling in adolescence is often related to licit and illicit substance use. Some evidence shows that teenage smokers gamble more than non-smokers. The aim of the study is to analyze the relationship between problem gambling and smoking among Czech adolescents. Methods Data on 6,082 adolescents (50.1% boys and 49.9% girls) aged 15–19 years were collected as part of the ESPAD study in the Czech Republic in 2015. Logistic regression and linear regression models were used to test the hypothesis that the early onset of daily smoking increases the risk of problem gambling. Results The age of initiation of daily smoking seems to be a more reliable marker of the risk of problem gambling than smoking status or intensity of smoking. More than 20% of smokers who started smoking daily at the age of 12 years or earlier are at risk of problem gambling, which shows a significantly increased probability compared to non-smokers (OR = 2.7). Other factors that increase the chances of becoming a problem gambler include being male, of higher age, and a student of a secondary school. Discussion and conclusions The relationship between adolescent smoking and gambling is complex and is likely to be influenced by other underlying factors. Early daily smokers and at-risk gamblers tend in a similar way to risky behavior as a result of impulsivity. Interventions targeting early smoking and other substance-use behavior should not only aim at quitting smoking but could also include preventing smokers from developing problem gambling.

“…A more recent study was carried out by Míguez and Becoña (2015), with 1447 students from Galicia (aged 11–16 years), who completed an anonymous survey in the class. The study found a problem gambling rate of 4.6 % using the SOGS-RA.…”

“…Furthermore, most empirical research on adolescent gambling in Europe has demonstrated a clear relationship between gambling behaviour and substance abuse (Molde et al 2009; Luder et al 2010; Bastiani et al 2011; Míguez and Becoña 2015; Lupu and Todirita 2013; Skokauskas and Satkeviciute 2007; Griffiths and Wood 2007). This finding suggests that gambling is maintained by many of the same processes inherent in these other addictions, which may lend some support to the theory that gambling is also a biopsychosocial addiction, like alcoholism and substance dependence (Walker 1992; Griffiths 1995).…”

Prevalence of Adolescent Problem Gambling: A Systematic Review of Recent Research

2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Previous research has shown that gambling is a popular activity among adolescents. Following a rapid expansion of legalized gambling opportunities and the emergence of new forms of gambling, many researchers have carried out studies on adolescent gambling and problem gambling. The present paper reviews studies that have been conducted worldwide since 2000, and then presents a more detailed picture of adolescent gambling research in Europe, by providing a country-by country analysis. After an extensive search on academic databases and following an exclusion process, 44 studies were identified. The findings showed that 0.2–12.3 % of youth meet criteria for problem gambling, notwithstanding differences among assessment instruments, cut-offs, and timeframes. However, despite this variability, several demographic characteristics were associated with adolescent gambling involvement and problem gambling. It is concluded that a small but significant minority of adolescents have gambling-related problems. Such findings will hopefully encourage more research into youth gambling to further understand the determinants of this phenomenon.

“…Therefore, it is an instrument adapted from other questionnaires such as child and adolescents trial for cardiovascular health (CATCH) [26], screening measure for assessing dietary fat intake among adolescents [27], self-report measures of children's physical activity (SAPA) [28] and the scale of problematic uses of Internet in adolescents [29]. For the development of the questionnaire, previous studies about health-related habits were also considered [30][31][32][33]. The last version of the questionnaire is composed of 19 items with different answers and divided into six factors linked to health: Habits of free time, habits of physical activity, habits related to Internet and new technologies, smoking, alcohol and drugs.…”

The objective was to examine daily health-related habits and physical activity during free time in a group of young people, with the aim of analysing what types of habits are developed and the associations existing between these habits. A cross-sectional and observational study was carried out. The sample was composed of 1132 young people from Castilla-La Mancha (Spain), 53.4% women and 46.6% men, between 17 and 25 years old (M = 20.63; DT = 2.01). The instrument used in this study was the questionnaire of assessment of health-related habits (QAHH). Different ranges of age and gender were taken into account in the analyses. The results showed low rates of physical activity, with only 25% of the participants practicing physical activity in their free time. Regarding gender, no differences were observed between boys and girls in terms of the level of physical activity practice. The inferential analyses revealed several significant relationships between the habits of leisure time and the practice of physical activity. The analyses also revealed that alcohol consumption, tobacco consumption and Internet were used as means to escape from everyday life. The most frequent free-time activities of the participants during the week were the use of new technologies and the consumption of harmful substances. During the weekends the most frequent ones were physical activity and consumption of harmful substances. While the relationship between physical activity, health-related habits and leisure time in young people is complex, these results indicate that physical activity should be promoted in young people, especially during the week and as a healthy alternative to the consumption of harmful substances. To do this, professionals of different fields (education, psychology, sports sciences, nutrition and medicine, among others) should work together.Sustainability 2019, 11, 6577 2 of 13 has been proven that lack of physical activity leads to obesity and health problems [6,7]. In the same way, other researches have studied the correlation between diet and the practice of physical education as factors that influence health [8,9].Without any doubt, the practice of physical education contributes to the prevention of some diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes type 2, overweight and obesity, cancer of colon and depression and anxiety, among others. Moreover, physical activity contributes to the improvement of the psychological state of people. For this reason, it is of utmost importance to examine behaviours linked to health, with the main aim of explaining the current situation in society. So, the attention must be focused on some stages such as adolescence and youth, as they are essential in the acquisition of future healthy lifestyles [4]. Regarding gender, women practice less physical activity, and this inactivity increases with age [9,10].The activities developed during free time are associated with fun, satisfaction and pleasure. However, these activities do not have to be related neither with physical activity nor w...
