Good morning, campus-community partners,
Pause Before You Play: Responsible Gambling Research Emerging Adults Survey
Pause Before You Playhttps://pausebeforeyouplay.org/, an Ohio Department of Behavioral Health initiative that is dedicated to preventing or reducing problem gambling and building awareness of resources for preventing and treating gambling disorder has developed a brief survey with the goal of understanding the gaming and gambling behaviors and motivations of the emerging adult population to develop messaging and resources that would be more likely to resonate with this group. Participants will also have the option to opt-in for a virtual focus group to share more insights and the selected participants will earn a $50 virtual gift card as compensation for their time. If you could please share this survey with your campus-community, we and the Ohio Department of Behavioral Health would be very grateful!
