Abstract

Childhood maltreatment has been thought to be a significant risk factor in the development of gambling problems. Incorporating a developmental psychopathology perspective, 1,324 adolescents and young adults, age 17–22 years completed self-report measures on gambling behaviors, gambling severity, and childhood maltreatment. Problem gamblers reported high levels of childhood maltreatment as compared with non gamblers and social gamblers. The results highlight the inter-relationship between multiple types of childhood abuse and gambling severity and are consistent with Jacobs’ General Theory of Addictions and Blaszczynski and Nower’s Pathways Model. The importance of routine assessments for childhood trauma, in addition to other psychological disorders and co-morbid addictive beahviors in individuals presenting with a gambling disorder may well facilitate more effective treatment strategies.

CEGEP is a particular feature of Québec’s education system. It constitutes an intermediary level between compulsory secondary education and university education. CECEP education offers two year pre-university programs and three-year technical programs leading to a Diploma of College Studies (DCS). A DCS is required by Quebec residents for admission to university.
