The Office For Problem Gambling is pleased to announce three successful applicants to the 2023 Strategic Research Agenda funding round.
- 3Arc Social will analyse Reddit data to explore how people talk about gambling journeys in public, online environments. The research has a particular focus on the protective factors involved in relapse and recovery.
- The South Australian Council of Social Services will conduct a systematic scoping review to examine whether building young people’s digital literacy serves as a protective factor against gambling harm as young adults (18-24).
- Flinders University will examine the extent to which AI chatbots can be effective in increasing South Australian gamblers awareness of risky gambling behaviours and help overcome barriers for help seeking.
The authors are due to submit final reports in 2024. The reports should provide timely, practical advice for government, local communities, public and private sectors to help achieve reductions in gambling harm. Plain English copies will be published online wherever possible.
The 2024 Strategic Research Agenda funding round is expected to open in early 2024.
