You know somebody with a gambling problem.Mission: To reduce the negative effects of gambling in Lane County communities through coordinating effective prevention strategies.Gambling Problem Disclaimer DefinitionOur program history
Lane County formed its problem gambling (or “disordered gambling”) prevention program in January 2002. Since then, we have been called upon regionally, nationally and internationally for our resources and innovative prevention approaches. In 2012 our coordinator, Julie Hynes, was the recipient of the National Council on Problem Gambling’s Wuelfing Award for Prevention, the highest honor in problem gambling prevention. She is currently the co-chair of the National Council on Problem Gambling Prevention Committee.Why the need to prevent gambling disorders?
*Disordered/problem gambling is a “hidden” behavioral addiction
*The latest data on Oregon students shows that gambling starts as early as sixth grade, and that youth who gamble are much more likely to be involved in other risky behaviors.
*Evidence-based efforts for drugs, alcohol and tobacco are effective; effective disordered gambling prevention strategies may actually help reduce the rate of future disordered gamblers by promoting healthy and responsible choices.Evidence-based work
Our program, like other problem gambling services in the State of Oregon, is funded by a portion of 1% of Oregon Lottery net proceeds. We utilize the Center forSubstance Abuse Prevention’s (CSAP) strategies for effective preventionefforts, including information dissemination, prevention education, community-based processes, and policy change.
A growing number of prevention experts believe that the risk and protective factors for other problem behaviors (e.g., substance abuse, violence, delinquency, school dropout) are common to those for problem gambling behaviors in youth. We very much support this belief. Therefore,our program seeks to model its efforts around addressing common riskfactors.
Our program is targeting the following risk factors in youth:
*Early initiation of problem behavior
*Community laws & norms favorable toward the problem behavior
*Favorable attitudes toward the problem behavior
*Friends who engage in the problem behavior

*Reduce gambling behavior among youth by addressing the riskfactors that may increase the risk of disordered/problem gambling and promotingthe protective factors that may minimize the risk of problemgambling.
