UK Veterans at significant risk of problem gambling
New research published in September 2021 in The United Kingdom Armed Forces Veterans’ Health and Gambling Study, from Swansea University and funded by Forces in Mind Trust, found that veterans are significantly more likely to experience problem-gambling than non-veterans.
Veterans are 10 times more likely to experience gambling harm. Veteran participants were also found to have a greater risk of poor mental health outcomes including depression, anxiety, PTSD and alcohol and/or nicotine dependence.
