Gambling & Debt Pathfinder Study - full report and appendices

Key findings:
-Debts of up to £60,000 might be common amongst problem gamblers
-Understanding of problem gambling amongst money advice agencies and in the NHS is extremely low
-Awareness of the help available to problem gamblers amongst these agencies and in the NHS, particularly GPs, is equally poor
-There is an urgent need to improve education about gambling for young people, alongside or as part of work on financial literacy and understanding chance and risk.

The Report makes a number of recommendations for the problem gambling and money advice agencies, banks and the credit industry, the gambling industry, youth and criminal justice systems, and employers.
