Journal Information

The Journal of Gambling Issues, through the publication of peer-reviewed articles that focus on gambling as a social phenomenon and the prevention and treatment of gambling problems, aims to help make sense of how gambling and problem gambling affect us all.
 
Published by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and funded by the Ontario Substance Abuse Bureau of the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care, our journal invites manuscripts submitted by researchers and clinicians, people involved in gambling as players, and family and friends of gamblers.
