TI  - The Stimulating Nature of Gambling Behaviors: Relationships Between Stimulant Use 
      and Gambling Among Adolescents.

AB  - Adolescence represents a significant developmental period during which 
      experimentation with high-risk behaviors including substance use and gambling 
      often occurs. These high-risk behaviors have been associated with multiple 
      negative measures of social, academic and psychological functioning. Although 
      associations have been established between alcohol use, marijuana use, mental 
      health problems, and problem gambling in youth, research investigating possible 
      associations between stimulant drug use and gambling is scarce. Questionnaire 
      responses were collected from 6542 high-school students aged 12-19 years. 
      Relationships between types and patterns of gambling with stimulant drugs 
      [including cocaine, methamphetamine, non-medical use of stimulants, and 
      3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA)] were examined. Chi square analyses with 
      odds ratio calculations revealed the use of any stimulant was associated with an 
      increased odds of gambling frequency and problem gambling among both males and 
      females. Self-reported use of crack cocaine was associated with a higher risk of 
      frequent gambling and use of methamphetamines was associated with a higher risk 
      of at-risk/problem gambling. Individuals using stimulants six or more times in 
      the past year had high likelihoods of frequent and at-risk/problem gambling 
      behaviors. The results contribute to our understanding of stimulant drug use and 
      its associations with gambling behaviors among high-school youth.
