Abstract
This survey of the gambling behavior of 1,750 adults in New Jersey and Maryland confirmed findings in New York State. The substantial differences between problem and pathological gamblers in the general population and those entering treatment programs have serious implications for prevention, outreach, and treatment efforts.
