Problem gambling
Research and Program Evaluation
Oregon has been the home of several research
studies on the prevalence and nature of problem gambling. The Oregon
Gambling Addiction Treatment Foundation conducts such studies with major support from the Oregon Lottery.
Additionally, DHS Problem Gambling Services measures the performance of individual
treatment programs and overall system effectiveness.
Every consenting person who enters state supported gambling treatment is followed
for up to two years to determine longer-term program effectiveness.
