This presentation discusses new trends in gambling research based on studies from the past few years. Some key findings include: - 1/3 of all knowledge about gambling has been published since 1999, challenging conventional wisdom. - Longitudinal studies show that the progression of gambling disorders during adolescence is dynamic and episodic rather than chronic or automatic. - Approximately 1/3 of people with gambling addiction recover naturally without formal treatment, similar to other addictions. - Promising new treatment strategies include pharmacological interventions like Nalmefene and cognitive behavioral therapy.
