What’s on the Line: Why Gambling Addiction can be so Dangerous

This week, we dive deep into the sci­ence behind addi­tion with addic­tion sci­ences expert Thomas F. Babor. Babor dis­cuss­es how gam­bling addic­tion is sim­i­lar to sub­stance addic­tion and what kinds of poli­cies can be imple­ment­ed to pro­tect peo­ple. We also talk about why col­lege aged men are so sus­cep­ti­ble and what kinds of incen­tives UConn has to keep its stu­dents informed.
