Welcome to the AUSTRALIAN GAMBLING SURVEY HOMEPAGE. We are collecting data that will help researchers, policy makers, and other key stakeholders gain a better understanding of interactive gambling and the people who gamble using the Internet, mobile phone and digital TV. This project is titled ‘Interactive Gambling’ and is funded by Gambling Research Australia. This research involves all Australians over the age of 18 who have gambled for money in the past 12 months.
The study is being conducted by:
Professor Nerilee Hing and Dr. Sally Gainsbury at the Centre for Gambling Education and Research, Southern Cross University
Professor Alex Blaszczynski at the Gambling Research Unit, University of Sydney
Professor Dan Lubman, Monash University and Director of Turning Point Alcohol and Drug Centre.
Associate Professor Robert Wood, University of Lethbridge
On the website, you will find a series of brief questionnaires designed to test your gambling knowledge and your gambling behaviour. When you take our questionnaires you will receive a score that shows how your gambling behaviour, knowledge, etc. compares to other people. On average participation in this survey takes approximately 10-15 minutes.
Information from submitted questionnaires will be deposited into a data base, and we will conduct statistical analyses of the data when the study is done. Information collected from these questionnaires may be published in research reports, articles, and books. Your participation in this research is extremely valuable in furthering the understanding of the nature of gambling, and Internet gambling in Australia and will be helpful in guiding policy makers, operators and community groups response to Internet gambling.
Your participation is strictly voluntary. You do not have to answer questions that you do not want to answer, and you may quit any of the questionnaires at any time. Your participation in this questionnaire is confidential. Only the immediate research team will be given access to the raw data collected from this questionnaire. In any future reports or publications, data from this questionnaire will be reported using general statistics and anonymous quotes. All data will be stored electronically on the University of Sydney’s server for a period of seven years in accordance with ethical research protocols.
