The University of Glasgow has begun a project focused on understanding and reducing gambling-related harms.
To work on the project, the University of Glasgow has partnered with Darwen Council’s Public Health in Lancashire and the University of Sheffield. Academics will focus on residents in Blackburn with Darwen, a borough in Lancashire, North West England.
The research will be conducted in the form of a needs assessment, with the hope that it will identify the impact and harms of gambling on individuals in the area.
Christopher Bunn, Project Leader at the University of Glasgow, said: “We are excited to support Blackburn with Darwen as they begin their journey of understanding and responding to the gambling harms present in their area.”
