The impacts of problem gambling can be high, for families and communities as well as for individuals. Pathological gamblers experience physical and psychological stress and exhibit substantial rates of depression, alcohol and drug dependence and suicidal ideation. The families of problem and pathological gamblers experience physical and psychological abuse as well as harassment and threats from bill collectors and creditors. Other significant impacts include costs to employers, creditors, insurance companies, social service agencies and the civil and criminal justice systems. Given the prevalence of problem and pathological gambling in Nevada, policymakers and other concerned parties may wish to consider a range of ameliorative measures. These include extending health insurance coverage to cover problem gambling treatment, fostering responsible gambling policies and programs by the gambling industries and developing government-industry initiatives to address this issue, expanding training opportunities for treatment professionals, establishing a gambling counselor certification program, increasing funding to the Nevada Department of Human Resources to support public education and prevention services as well as problem gambling treatment, and continued monitoring of gambling and problem gambling prevalence to assess the impacts of legal gambling on the residents of Nevada.
