UCLA Gambling Addiction Survey

The University of California at Los Angeles is planning a survey to determine what information they can find on online gambling and the effect it is having on their students. They believe that there is some excessive gambling going on among students, and they want to try and get a handle on what it is they might be looking at.

The UCLA Gambling Studies Program has designed the survey to see how problematic the online gambling might be becoming among UCLA students. They have created a massive online survey that they think they will be able to get to the majority of students. They said that they have been aware of a propensity of gambling addictions among their younger students, and want to be aware of exactly how big this problem has become.

They are currently collecting the responses to the survey, and their goal is to do this four times over the course of the year, so that they will get an accurate picture of the depth of the addiction. It will also tell them what games are drawing them in, and who is most susceptible to gambling addictions.

They say that so far they have discovered something that they already knew, and that is that most people who gamble online or play video games are not going to become gambling addicts, and will lead normal lives. However, those that have an addictive personality will develop a problem. They said that as they continue to go through the surveys they are hoping that this will clear up more of the addiction questions that society has as a whole.
