13th Annual NRCG Conference on Gambling and Addiction
Exploring New Trends in Recovery, Research and Responsible Gaming
Sept. 30 – Oct. 2, 2012
A redefinition of recovery, health care reform, an emerging minority population, new treatment approaches, the growth of online gambling – These trends directly impact the way we treat, prevent and study gambling disorders and responsible gaming. The evolving landscape makes this an exciting time and challenging for clinicians, public health workers, researchers, regulators and the gaming industry worldwide. The 2012 NCRG Conference on Gambling and Addiction examined these topics by translating the most up-to-date research into practical applications for prevention, recovery, research and responsible gaming. Conference sessions addressed the latest changes in health care delivery systems, the science of recovery, the use of brief interventions, the impact of Internet gambling, public and private funding issues, ways to serve the cultural needs of minority populations and more.
