Description	The Australian National University (ANU) Centre for Gambling Research (CGR) was commissioned by the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) Gambling and Racing Commission to conduct the 2019 ACT Gambling Survey. The overarching objective of the 2019 ACT Gambling Survey is to assist monitoring by the ACT Gambling and Racing Commission of the social and economic impacts of gambling in the ACT. The survey design allows comparison with data collected in the 2009 and 2014 ACT prevalence studies. It also allows new trends in gambling behaviour, such as online gambling, to be measured, and provides data on topics of particular current interest. The ANU CGR partnered with the Social Research Centre to conduct the survey. The Social Research Centre was responsible for data collection, using computer-assisted telephone interviewing. The ANU CGR analysed the data and drafted this report. The 2019 survey saw 10 000 ACT adult residents interviewed over a 6-week period (April–May 2019). Participants provided detailed information on their gambling participation, expenditure and gambling harm (including harm from significant others) during the past 12 months. Select groups of participants were asked about attitudes towards gambling, help-seeking behaviour, physical and mental wellbeing, financial hardship, and online expenditure. Overall, the report describes a community that is highly engaged in a diverse range of gambling activities. It also presents a picture of a community experiencing a substantial level of harm and negative impacts as a result (14% of ACT residents). (2019-11-01)

Unit of Analysis	Individual
Universe	The in-scope population for the survey was the non-institutionalised adult resident population of the ACT. Individuals not included in the study included: • residents of institutional premises (e.g. prisons, nursing homes) and military bases • people who indicated that they were incapable of undertaking the interview because of a physical or health condition (including being too old/frail) • people apparently under the influence of drugs or alcohol • households with no person aged 18 years or over in residence • mobile phone sample members where the mobile phone number called was primarily for business use.
Time Method	One-time cross-sectional study
Data Collector	The Social Research Centre
Sampling Procedure	Multi-stage stratified random sample
Target Sample Size	10000
Collection Mode	Telephone interview
Weighting	weight_short/weight_long All respondents completed the short-form survey, but a subset of respondents was administered a longer form of the questionnaire, based on their gambler type. Since the subset was not a simple random sample of all respondents, it was necessary to calculate a separate weight for the long-form respondents. This was done to ensure that estimates made for these respondents were representative of the in-scope population as well as being consistent with estimates made for all respondents. To ACT Gambling Prevalence Survey, 2019 24 Prepared by the Social Research Centre achieve this, the same benchmarks as described above were used as well as an additional benchmark based on gambler type. weight_short is to weight most sections for the interview. weight_long weight_long is specifically to weight sections on attitudes towards gambling and questions on wellbeing (Section R and Section B).
Response Rate	16.3%
