Sure Bet Three: Gaming and the College Experience March 2021

(Offered virtual via Zoom platform)

Training Description:
Problem gambling prevalence rates amongst teenagers and young adults have been reported to be higher than that of the general population. It’s also during these sensitive years that many young adults step onto college campuses to experience their first few years of independence and make some very important initial life decisions.  Many of these decisions will have life-long ramifications and are often influenced by the plethora of recreational options that are accessible to students in the modern era college experience. These options include all the gambling and gaming opportunities available today due to industry and technological developments. Learn about the vulnerabilities, motivations and types of gambling that young adults encounter during their college years on our nation’s campuses. Also, gain an understanding of prevention strategies and the clinical implications of serving this population during this phase of their young lives.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the three areas of development in an adolescent/young adult’s life
  • Apply the four A’s that influence young adults and potential problem gambling
  • List the four issues that are associated with problem gambling among college students
  • Identify the three gambling activities most frequently chosen by college students
