Research
At CAMH, researchers are actively leading and collaborating on a variety of studies in the field. In this section, we regularly highlight some of the latest research contributions from CAMH researchers and their colleagues. Our coverage includes monitoring trends in gambling, gaming and technology use activities and intersections of these activities with physical and mental health, substance use, education and treatment programs, social policy and more.
Policy
The Gambling Policy Framework presents the latest evidence around gambling-related harms and the policies that can mitigate them. The overarching message of the Framework is that to reduce gambling-related harms, focus must shift from the individual who gambles to the context in which gambling takes place. To that end, it proposes nine evidence-informed recommendations towards a public health approach to gambling.
CAMH is committed to advocating for healthy public policy in the area of mental health and addictions, including problem gambling. For more on CAMH's public policy work, please visit the How CAMH is Influencing Public Policy webpage.
