Emerging Adults
Wardle was funded by the Wellcome Trust to conduct a longitudinal survey of young adults aged 16-24 living in Great Britain, to explore a range of gambling behaviours and harms, and examine how these change over time. This groundbreaking work has established links between Electronic Gaming Machines and online gambling among young people and elevated PGSI scores. It has also established strong between elevated PGSI scores and suicidality among young people.
