Data stem from a five-year project entitled Portrait du jeu au Québec: Prévalence, incidence et trajectoires sur quatre ans (ENHJEU-QUÉBEC Study) funded by the concerted actions program of the Fonds de recherche du Québec – Société et Culture (FRQ-SC). The study main objective was to generate prevalence data on gambling behaviours and associated problems among the adult population of Quebec. A survey was carried out in 2009, and a follow-up study with participants covered a period of three (
3) years to better assess various gambling trajectories (2009, 2010, 2011).
The study was conducted with a random sample, representative of the non-institutionalized population aged 18 and over, speaking French or English, and living in private households throughout the province (12 008 respondents in 2012).
In this project, data collection took place in the summer of 2012, yielding an overall response rate of 43.2%.
The results of the project are supporting the Quebec Ministry of Health and Social Services and its regional health agencies with planni
ng prevention and treatment programs and ensure that services in all regions of Quebec adequately address the needs of gamblers seeking help.
