This graph shows that gambling is the most commonly risk behavior among youth in Oregon, yet it is not on the radar screen of most people. Often teachers or parents will say “we just don’t see it”, when problem gambling prevention talks address this issue—even though they don’t see it, it is clearly happening and generally without guidance or parameters set by parents, teachers or others.

What’s Increasing the Most?
Many of the risk behaviors of concern are decreasing over time, while youth gambling is significantly increasing. More attention needs to be paid to this important and emerging risk behavior, particularly when you view it in terms of the correlation between youth gambling and these other, more well known, behaviors—the next series of slides will shed some light on this.
