The Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences on Problem Gambling in New Mexico

Dispositional and contextual correlates of in-play sports betting and related harms: A 2-week ecological momentary assessment study.

“…Dispositional factors selected for examination were risk factors for in-play (relative to traditional) sports betting and for problem gambling, including adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), impulsivity, and emotion dysregulation (Ioannidis et al, 2019; Sharman et al, 2019; Velotti et al, 2021). In the present study, we included ACEs as a dispositional correlate given its association with problem gambling severity (Goodrich et al, 2023; Poole et al, 2017) and the conceptualization of in-play betting as a particularly risky form of gambling (Killick & Griffiths, 2019; Parke & Parke, 2019). Consequently, it is possible that individuals with greater experiences of ACEs are attracted to in-play betting as it may facilitate coping with distress given the continuous rate of play, similar to EGMs (Newall et al, 2021).…”
