A new systematic review published today by the scientific journal Addiction has found that globally, around one in every 400 adults (0.23% of the current general adult population) has sought help for gambling problems, either during the past 12 months or at some point in their lifetime. This review is the first to estimate the global prevalence of help-seeking for gambling problems. It combines the results of 24 studies conducted internationally that asked members of the general public about seeking help for gambling problems.
