“…International studies have found that problem gambling rates among adolescents (aged 12 -17 years) are typically two to three times that found in adults (Delfabbro & Thrupp, 2003;Dickson, Derevensky, & Gupta, 2008;Shaffer & Hall, 2001;Welte, Barnes, Tidwell, & Hoffman, 2001). Young adults aged 18 -24 also appear to have significantly more gambling-related problems than any other adult age cohort (Derevensky, 2009;Productivity Commission, 2010;Welte et al, 2001).…”

“…Research has repeatedly shown youth with gambling problems, relative to non-problem-gambling peers, are significantly more likely to have problematic relationships with friends and family, lie about their gambling, have lost or jeopardised a significant relationship, job, or educational or career opportunity because of gambling, miss class or lose time at work to gamble, experience academic failure, truancy, or early school withdrawal, have financial difficulties (e.g., borrowing from friends and family and being unable to repay them, selling personal items), smoke cigarettes, abuse alcohol and drugs, be more involved in delinquency and criminal activities, and have multiple mental health problems, higher rates of suicide ideation, and suicide attempts Brezing et al, 2010;Dickson et al, 2008;Engwall et al, 2004;Gupta & Derevensky, 2000Hardoon & Derevensky, 2002;Nower, Gupta, Blaszczynski, & Derevensky, 2004;Olason et al, 2006;Ste-Marie, Gupta, & Derevensky, 2006;Stinchfield, 2004;Ipsos MORI Social Research Unit, 2009;Weinstock, Whelan, Meyers, & Watson, 2007).

Gambling and video game playing represent two leisure activities in which adolescents and young adults participate. There are psychological and behavioural parallels between slot machine gambling and video arcade game playing. Because both activities have similar negative effects associated with excessive play (e.g., poor academic performance, moodiness, loss of interest in activities previously enjoyed, interpersonal conflict) there is concern that children and adolescents who are attracted to video games, for both psychological rewards and the challenge, may be at greater risk to gamble. The current research examined the gambling (land-based, online for money, and free online gambling games), video game, and Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPG) playing behaviour in adolescents and young adults to determine shared risk factors and negative consequences for excessive play. These factors include depression, personality characteristics (i.e., impulsivity and extraversion), and outcome expectancies.Results indicate that gamblers, relative to non-gamblers, were more likely to play video games. Video game players were more likely than non-players to gamble offline and report playing free online gambling games. Problem gamblers had higher rates of video game playing than non-gamblers and addicted gamers had higher rates of land-based gambling than nongamers. In addition, MMORPG players, relative to non-players, were more likely to have participated in online gambling activities, gambled offline, and played free online gambling games. There were no significant differences among the three gambling groups for depression, however addicted gamers had significantly higher depression scores than both social and non-

“…Un vaste sondage canadien révèle que les individus âgés de 15 ans et plus qui sont dépendants de SPA triplent leur risque d'être aussi des joueurs pathologiques probables par rapport à la population générale (Rush, Bassani, Urbanoski et Castel, 2008). Dans le même sens, plusieurs études montrent que la gravité des problèmes de JHA est associée à la gravité de la consommation de SPA chez les adolescents (Barnes et al, 2009 ;Desai et al, 2005 ;Dickson, 2005 ;Hardoon, Gupta et Derevensky, 2004 ;Lynch et al, 2004). …”

La consommation de substances psychoactives (SPA) et la participation à des jeux de hasard et d’argent (JHA) font partie des conduites à risque à l’adolescence. Certaines études montrent que le fait de jouer à des JHA et celui d’éprouver des problèmes de JHA sont associés aux problèmes de consommation de SPA chez les jeunes, mais elles documentent peu quelles activités (nature et quantité) et types de JHA (Internet ou non-Internet) sont plus spécifiquement reliés aux problèmes de consommation de SPA à l’adolescence. Les travaux de la présente étude visent à explorer les liens entre les activités de JHA, le nombre de JHA et les types de JHA d’une part, et les SPA consommées ainsi que la gravité de la consommation de SPA, d’autre part. Pour ce faire, une étude a été réalisée entre 2007 et 2009 auprès de 1 870 élèves de la 3e à la 5e année du secondaire, âgés de 14 à 18 ans. Un questionnaire sur les habitudes de JHA (DSM-IV-MR-J) et un autre sur la consommation de SPA (DEP-ADO) leur ont été administrés. Les résultats montrent notamment que les jeunes polyconsommateurs (alcool et cannabis) s’adonnent aux JHA dans une proportion plus élevée que les consommateurs d’alcool seulement. Aussi, le fait de jouer avec des appareils de loterie vidéo (ALV) semble être associé à une gravité plus importante de la consommation de SPA que les autres activités de JHA. Par ailleurs, une gravité plus élevée de la consommation de SPA est manifestée chez ceux qui s’adonnent à un plus grand nombre d’activités de JHA différentes. Les jeunes jouant avec les ALV et ceux faisant des paris sportifs s’adonnent à un nombre moyen de JHA différents plus important. Enfin, les joueurs Internet de l’échantillon présentent des problèmes de consommation de SPA plus graves que les joueurs non-Internet. Les implications cliniques de ces résultats sont discutées.
