SUMMARY:Free Webinar - High Stakes\, Unequal Outcomes: Racial Disparities in Youth Gambling and Its Consequences
DESCRIPTION:  \nAbout the Webinar \nBlack youth and emerging adults are burdened with higher rates of heavy gambling and worse gambling related consequences in comparison to White Youth.  The increased availability\, social acceptability of gambling is a major public health concern\, particularly among Black youth who face disproportionate gambling related consequences. Factors such as neighborhood disadvantages\, adverse childhood experiences\, targeted marketing\, \, and substance use place Black youth at an increased risk. Black youth who gamble are faced with a disproportionate level of adverse consequences including loss of control\, financial problems\, illegal behaviors\, along with mental health and substance related consequences. \nThe current study used data from the Multi-Wave Missouri Family Study (MOFAM; N=1349)\, which was oversampled for Black families (n=806). MOFAM is a longitudinal high-risk family study designed to study the effects of paternal alcohol use disorder on development of offspring alcohol involvement and other outcomes.  We examined  of a sub-sample Black (55.6%) and White (44.4%) participants who completed the gambling questionnaire from study.  We conducted two studies that examined racial differences including 1) an examination of gambling and suicidal behaviors 2) temporal relationship of gambling onset and alcohol\, tobacco and cannabis initiation in adolescents and young adults. \nAttendees will earn 1 continuing education hour.
