National and Maryland data show minority populations are at a greater risk of problem gambling. This webinar will show data and research findings indicating this health disparity and discuss reasons why minority populations may be at greater risk. The Maryland Council on Problem Gambling will provide an overview of the Council and prevention programming implemented in collaboration with minority populations. The Center will highlight problem gambling prevention strategies implemented through youth and special populations grant programs. In addition, learn from Baltimore City’s peer recovery support specialist how he assists those in Baltimore City that have a gambling problem. Recommendations for how your organization can promote health equity, raise awareness of responsible gambling, and promote resources for help will be discussed.
