“…Studies have shown that being foreign born and belonging to an ethnic minority may constitute a risk factor for problem gambling ( Alegría et al, 2009 ; Caler, Vargas Garcia, & Nower, 2017 ; Canale et al, 2017 ; Giralt et al, 2018 ; James, O'Malley, & Tunney, 2016 ; Lyk-Jensen, 2010 ; Okuda et al, 2016 ; Welte et al, 2004 ; Wilson, Salas-Wright, Vaughn, & Maynard, 2015 ). However, authors have suggested that ethnicity may not be a risk factor in itself, but associated risk factors are likely to mediate the increased risk ( Kastirke, Rumpf, John, Bischof, & Meyer, 2015 ; Okuda et al, 2016 ), and this includes the finding that immigrants may present a more severe gambling pattern, compared to natives ( Eva et al, 2012 ).…”
