Liquor and Gambling in Manitoba 2013 [Canada]

Where the random sample diverged from population data, weights based on the 2011 Canadian Census corrected for minor discrepancies in gender, age, and household income. In total, 1,206 adult residents of Manitoba (age 18+) completed the Liquor and Gambling survey (Winnipeg: n= 609; Brandon: n=131; Southern Manitoba: n=309; and Northern Manitoba: n=147). The questionnaire for the 2013 Liquor and Gambling of Manitoba Study is based upon the questionnaires developed for the Manitobans and Gambling series, along with the selected questions from the Gambling Motives Questionnaire – Financial (GMQ-F), and the Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI).

This was the first cycle of the study to include questions from the CPGI, which was used to measure the prevalence of gambling-related harm, including problem gambling. The intended use of the study is to inform the LGA’s responsible drinking and responsible gambling initiatives.
