Editor's Notes
- #14 9-week group course: wealth-building FPU classes everywhere
- #15 89% of UNR students who gamble set a spending limit and most of them keep it. 9 out of 10 UNR students who gamble never borrow money to gamble UNR students who don't gamble or gamble infrequetly have higher GPS's 1 in 4 UNR student have a close friend or family member with a gambling problem 42% of college students gambled in the last year; 22% of colleges and universities had any policy to deal with student gambling (Shaffer et al., 2005) The UNR prevention program follows the College Task Forsce on Problem Gambling guiding principle of infusing problem gambling prevention efforts into existing campus prevention recovery programs for alcohol and substance abuse by working through UNR NRAP. We follow principles of prevention in implementing the most comprehensive program possible with a three-pronged approach using social norms marketing, educational strategies, environmental strategies, and are adding the additional element of an online personalized feedback tool to allow students to compare their gambling habits with those of their peers. Actual survey data from UNR students is used to develop a social norms marketing campaign that reflects the positive healthy norms surrounding gambling on campus. The campaign uses print display and social media (posters, table tents, door hangers, Facebook and Twitter to promote healthy gambling behaviors and educate students, faculty, and staff about the signs and symptoms of gambling problems, what concerned students, faculty, and staff can do to help themselves, friends, and family members, and provides information about campus and community resources for problem and disordered gambling.
- #16 Gaming “fulfills certain needs they have”: Temporary Escape, Social Connection, Constant Measurable Growth, A Sense of Purpose Help them address what concerns they have What else will they do with their time? What if they are just bored? How will they make new friends? How to deal with stress w/o gaming? Gamers are defensive: it’s important to not attack or vilify gaming Instead, focus on whether their gameplay is contributing to their academic goals always have conversations with them outside their room
