Description
"Stress, negative affect and alcohol consumption were all weakly correlated with problem gambling intensity and frequency of gambling in international students. Interventions to alleviate these conditions, of value in themselves, may also stave off maladaptive coping strategies such as gambling to relieve depression, loneliness or boredom in some students." -- Gambling Research Australia website.
