Specific topics will include:
- the nature and estimated prevalence of gambling amongst adolescents in NSW
- the nature and estimated prevalence of simulated gambling amongst adolescents in NSW
- personal, parental, peer and environmental factors that influence adolescent gambling and simulated gambling
- how the findings can inform measures to prevent and reduce gambling-related harm.
