Click here, if you'd like to take part in one or more pre-conference workshops, which will take place on Wednesday 27.5. at the conference venue. Please note that Workshops 2 and 3 are parallel, so you can only choose one of them.

Workshop 1 at 13:00-15:00
Workshop 2 at 15:00-17:00
Workshop 3 at 15:00-17:00

The duty of care for gambling companies differs across countries. Some countries have included a duty of care obligation in law but leave its development and implementation to individual gambling companies. Others have no legal obligations at all and leave it to the industry. This is problematic, as the responsibility for preventing harm and providing care conflicts with profit interests of companies. It also leads to large variations in approaches, making regulatory oversight difficult. From a public health perspective, the best approach would be for an independent group of experts to draft a uniform duty of care framework that is incorporated into law and regularly evaluated. In this workshop, representatives from Finland (Dr. Virve Marionneau, University of Helsinki), Sweden (Dr. Håkan Wall, Karolinska Institutet), and the Netherlands (Dr. Anouk Tuijnman, Trimbos Institute) will share the process and results of working toward a uniform duty of care framework, as well as barriers and limitations. Participants, guided by the three experts, will then work together to explore how the lessons learned can be applied in their own countries.

The underrepresentation of women speakers at academic conferences in the gambling studies field is historic and pervasive; however, the field has yet to adequately acknowledge or address this pressing issue. Recently, a set of evidence-based recommendations was developed to provide a concrete framework for addressing gender disparities at gambling studies conferences. This workshop led by Professor Eva Monson from Université de Sherbrooke will create spaces to name challenges, share experiences and resources, and co-develop strategies for change in order to effectively integrate the recommendations within current organizational practices. By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to: (1) Critically analyze current conference/event organization practices in relation to gender representation and equity, using the proposed recommendations as an evaluative framework. (2) Develop concrete, transferable, and context-sensitive implementation strategies to advance gender equity within their own conference or organizational settings. (3) Apply an evidence-informed toolkit of recommendations to support planning, delivery, and evaluation of academic conferences.

This interactive workshop will showcase latest innovations for population research, as well as provide a forum to discuss ongoing challenges and their solutions. Understanding how gambling behaviours and harms are distributed among populations is a cornerstone of gambling research. Gambling prevalence studies are conducted world-wide to provide this insight. This workshop brings together leaders of national population surveys to explore new advances in the design of population studies. This includes innovations such as linking survey responses with digital trace data, through smart data donation methods; experimental work to better under the nature of different response bias with gambling surveys; linking survey data with administrative records; implementing retrospective longitudinal techniques and more. Speakers include David Zendle (University of York), Heather Wardle (University of Glasgow, Co-lead of Gambling Survey for Great Britain), Jouni Kuha (London School of Economics), and Anne Salonen (Finnish Institute of Health and Welfare).
