Social media and social games are extremely popular among young people and gambling themes are highly prevalent on these platforms. With high Internet connectivity, access to gambling sites with few age controls presents a genuine concern. This presentation will outline how gambling themes are present on social media and in social games and the impact that this increasing digital convergence has on adolescents. Implications: As gambling and gaming are converging in many different ways online policy makers, public health groups, educators, treatment providers and parents are encouraged to consider the best strategies for minimising harms associated with any new and existing products.

Video Games - advantages and disadvantages

Isabel Miguel

This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of video games for children. The advantages are that video games can develop skills needed for learning, stimulate imagination, be entertaining, challenging, allow playing different characters in different environments, increase interest in topics, provide role models, and improve decision making and social skills. The disadvantages are that video games can negatively impact behavior by increasing aggression and decreasing compassion, many games are more aggressive than educational, and they can cause various health problems like neck pain, backache, eye strain, and addiction.

Risk & challenge - building a culture in schools and early years

Matt Robinson

The document discusses balancing risk management with allowing children to learn through play that involves an element of risk. It advocates avoiding an overly strict "deficit model" of eliminating all risk, which can undermine children's development. Instead, it promotes a balanced approach where the real risks are managed, learning opportunities are fully experienced, and common sense is not squeezed out. Staff should understand their roles and be supported and competent to assess risk, rather than relying only on copious paperwork. Involving children, parents, and staff in discussing risks can help achieve common goals of health, happiness and resilience for children.

1) A new Ohio State University study shows that playing violent video games can make people more aggressive over time, though it cannot be definitively linked to violent criminal behavior. 2) The media has speculated that Adam Lanza, the shooter in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, spent much of his time playing violent video games like "Call of Duty" and police found thousands of dollars worth of violent video games in his home. 3) A self-generated survey of 60 people found that 37% think video games cause more aggression in players, 31% don't think so, and 32% neither agree nor disagree. The document discusses factors that could contribute to how video games may influence aggression.

Problem Gambling - Presentation for Educators

Oregon Problem Gambling Services

The document is a slideshow presentation about educating youth on the risks of gambling. It summarizes gambling rates and risk behaviors among Oregon youth based on a student wellness survey. It finds that gambling rates increased more than other behaviors from 2009 to 2010, and that youth who gamble also tend to engage in other risky activities like substance use. It encourages educators to discuss gambling when teaching about addiction and provides resources for prevention education materials and treatment.

CHADD 2014 Should Children with ADHD Play Minecraft?

Randy Kulman

This document discusses potential benefits and concerns regarding children with ADHD playing Minecraft. It summarizes research showing that video games can positively impact cognition, motivation, social behavior, and emotion regulation for children. Specifically, games may improve spatial skills, problem-solving, persistence, and social/emotional regulation. However, children with ADHD or autism are more at risk for problematic game use. Inattention is linked to problematic use, and role-playing games are associated with issues for those with autism. The document examines whether parents and educators have choice regarding technology and considers developmental trends in media use.

I can't fit one more thing on my plate! Infusing problem gambling prevention ...

Julie Hynes

This document discusses integrating problem gambling prevention into existing prevention efforts. It begins by establishing that problem gambling shares many risk factors with other problem behaviors and that addressing it can help reduce multiple issues. The document then provides examples of evidence-based prevention strategies that can incorporate problem gambling content, such as school curricula, social media campaigns, and community coalitions. Screening tools and techniques are also presented to help identify individuals who may be at risk.

This document summarizes a presentation about video games and their effects on children. It explores both sides of the research on whether video games lead to increased aggression or other impacts. It provides data on how much time kids spend gaming and the most popular genres and titles. It also offers tips for parents on setting limits, choosing age-appropriate games, and getting involved in their child's gaming activities to help them navigate the space safely.

YMCA Video Games project

Steven Dupon

The Manningham YMCA has developed a video games program to help balance the benefits and risks of video game playing for children. The program began in 2012 and has expanded to include presentations, workshops, gaming events, and a website to provide information and resources on using video games positively. The program founder, Steven Dupon, has shared the framework with other YMCAs internationally and many have expressed interest in collaborating on the project.

College Students and gambling

Jackie Daniels

The document summarizes research on college student gambling. It finds that around 85% of college students have gambled, with 23% doing so weekly.

Oregon Problem Gambling Services

This document provides tips for hosting a casino night fundraiser responsibly and warns about the risks of youth gambling. It discusses how gambling is related to other risky behaviors like delinquency, drug and alcohol use. While many parents believe youth gambling is harmless, the document states this belief is incorrect.

Keeping Pace with the Changing Tides of Gaming & Gambling

Julie Hynes

This document provides an overview of trends in electronic gambling and gaming. It discusses how gaming, gambling, and in-app purchases have blurred lines between entertainment and gambling. Research shows electronic forms can be highly addictive for young people due to dopamine release. Risk factors for problematic gaming include family and peer influences, while protective factors include social support. The document calls for addressing issues through prevention initiatives targeting common risk and protective factors rather than a problem gaming-specific approach. Funding for problem gambling services remains far below that of substance abuse disorders despite similar public health impacts.

The Case for Prevention of Problem Gambling

Julie Hynes

This document discusses the case for preventing problem gambling, especially among youth. It argues that problem gambling is connected to other problem behaviors like substance abuse and should be addressed through comprehensive prevention efforts. Risk factors for problem gambling are similar to other issues and include early exposure, trauma, and family and peer influences. Prevention requires reducing risks and enhancing protective factors across individual, family, school and community domains. The speaker urges integrating gambling prevention into existing evidence-based programs and increasing community awareness and involvement to address this issue.

Non-toxic / Connecting the Dots 27.6.2018

Riikka Kaukinen

Common forms included negative comments about gaming skills, racism, homophobia/transphobia, and sexism. The project aims to combat hate speech through workshops and non-toxic gaming events, and to create a more encouraging atmosphere for gamers of all backgrounds.
