Sports gambling and drinking behaviors over time

JAMA Psychiatry

Peer-Reviewed Publication

JAMA Network

About The Study: This study found that over time, the trajectory of sports gambling frequency was associated with the trajectory of alcohol-related problems. Screening and treatment interventions are recommended for sport gamblers who also drink concurrently, especially because this group appears to be at an elevated risk for developing greater alcohol-related problems over time.
