Events
SARIC organises and takes part in a variety of local, national and international events. This helps us to foster and develop knowledge exchange partnerships and increase public engagement on addiction-related topics.
'The brain and risky choices: knowledge exchange for understanding problem gambling and its treatment'
Thursday 14th March 2024, 2pm to 6pm
Sainsbury Wellcome Centre, London, W1T 4JG
Gambling-related harms cost over £1 billion annually in the UK. Considering gambling prevalence and the number of people receiving treatment in the UK, it is estimated that only 5% of individuals who experience gambling disorder or problematic gambling undertake therapy. Given this low percentage, it is essential to gain a better understanding of a wide range of treatment approaches that are easily delivered and capable of reducing gambling harms.
