Problem gambling and support preferences among Finnish prisoners: a pilot study in an adult correctional population.

This study provides a deeper understanding of problem gambling in prisons. Problem gambling is associated with crime and also seems to be linked with serving a previous sentence. Early detection and tailored interventions for problem gambling may help to reduce reoffending rates. PMID: 31532340 [PubMed - in process]
