This report explores the relationship between gambling behaviour and suicidal thoughts and attempts, exploring the critical points of intervention to improve the current provision for gambling harms treatment and support. It explores what demographic groups are more likely to be at risk alongside what types of gambling participation are associated with a higher risk of suicidality.

This report is a synthesis of a large, mixed-methods research programme exploring the effectiveness of online peer support for reducing gambling harms in GB.

This report discusses the qualitative component of a research programme exploring the effectiveness of online peer support for gambling harm. It outlines findings from interviews with people who use online peer support to manage gambling harm, and professionals who provide gambling harm support.

This analysis explores the underlying drivers of gambling harm for affected others, focusing specifically on how stigmatising perceptions of harmful gambling can in turn exacerbate harm for affected others.

This report explores why and how people who wish to reduce, quit, or manage their gambling engage with self-directed tools and strategies in Great Britain. It discusses these experiences across awareness, motivation, uptake, engagement and impact, identifying barriers and facilitators to inform recommendations for the sector explored further in the Final Synthesis report.

This report investigates the systemic, behavioural and design-based barriers people face in taking up self-directed tools and strategies and develops actionable recommendations for sector stakeholders.

The final Community Resilience Fund evaluation report highlights how community organisations have reduced gambling harms through trusted local services, culturally tailored approaches and strengthened partnerships.

This report presents the evaluation findings of The National Gambling Support Network (NGSN). It identifies implications and recommendations for GambleAware, the network providers, future system commissioners (the NHS) and wider system stakeholders.

These data profiles are produced by OCSI to bring together data estimated from the Annual Treatment and Support Surveys 2022-2024 using Multilevel Regression and Post-stratification (MRP) modelling and provide a picture of  gambling-related harms, usage and demand of treatment for gambling harms and estimated fiscal costs from gambling harms at the local area level across Great Britain.

This evaluation shows that the Aftercare Funding Programme filled a critical gap in the gambling harms care pathway by strengthening the long-term recovery sector, building provider capacity and partnerships and generating evidence to inform future commissioning and policy decisions.
