Citation/Abstract

Researchers have often studied gambling among a wide range of demographic groups. Although researchers do what they can to investigate this compulsive behavior, there is one demographic that is understudied: the college age demographic. This research is designed to examine the frequency and duration of college age gamblers on the campus of Northern Michigan University, located in Marquette, MI. A self-reporting survey was used as a research tool to record gambling frequency and duration to specific types of gambling.
