Gambling in the Spotlight - Survey for Service Personnel

As part of MOD's work to better understand problem gambling across the Armed Forces, we have worked with Swansea University to develop a survey. A large number of respondents are required to make this a worthwhile source of evidence.

The confidential survey is open to any serving member of the Armed Forces and takes around 10 minutes to complete – it is also aimed at those Healthcare and welfare teams working within the Armed Forces to get a view of their experiences of dealing with problem-gambling.

Ideally responses need to be reflective of the AF community, so input from those in Basic and Initial Trade Training, across all types of Unit, including those deployed overseas and deployed on operations, and all types of Reservist. Responses will inform further research and work that the Health Priority Group will undertake. The survey will close on Mon 24 Apr.

​Please contact your nearest HIVE to be given the survey link or see DefNet or Defence Connect.
