Today, we publish the Lancet Public Health Commission on gambling—an inquiry and response to a neglected, understudied, and expanding public health threat. Gambling is not a simple leisure activity; it is a health-harming addictive behaviour. The harms associated with gambling are wide-ranging, not only affecting an individual's health and wellbeing, but also their wealth and relationships, affecting families and communities with potential lifelong consequences, and deepening health and societal inequalities. By assessing the barriers to preventing gambling-related health harms, the Commission unveils and deciphers the intersections between the social, commercial, legal, and political determinants of health.

是时候对赌博采取公共卫生应对措施了


今天，我们发布了关于赌博的柳叶刀公共卫生委员会——对被忽视、研究不足和不断扩大的公共卫生威胁的调查和回应。赌博不是一项简单的休闲活动;这是一种危害健康的成瘾行为。与赌博相关的危害是广泛的，不仅影响个人的健康和福祉，还影响他们的财富和人际关系，影响家庭和社区，可能产生终生后果，并加深健康和社会不平等。通过评估预防与赌博相关的健康危害的障碍，委员会揭示和破译了健康的社会、商业、法律和政治决定因素之间的交叉点。
