What’s in a Name? Evaluating the Public Stigma of Gambling Disorder

 

Speaker: Leanne Quigley, PhD 

                 Assistant Professor in the Clinical Psychology PsyD

                in the Ferkauf Graduate School of Psychology

                Yeshiva University

 

 

Public stigma of gambling disorder has negative effects on the mental health and functioning of affected individuals and impedes treatment-seeking. One factor thought to be implicated in stigma is the label used to describe the condition. The aims of Dr. Quigley’s research were to: (1) evaluate whether different labels for problematic gambling behavior influence public stigma; and (2) compare public stigma of gambling disorder to other health conditions.

 

 

Learning objectives: 

  • Participants will be able to describe the extent and nature of public stigma of gambling disorder compared to other psychological disorders.
  • Participants will be able to explain the harms associated with the stigmatization of gambling disorder.
  • Participants will be able to summarize intervention strategies that may be used to reduce public stigma of gambling disorder.
