This event will be held in a virtual format.
Title: Online Sports Betting: An Emerging Public Health Issue
Learning Objectives:
1. Describe how the 2018 Murphy v. NCAA decision, state-by-state legalization, and the product design of mobile sportsbooks and prediction markets have changed the accessibility and addictive potential of sports betting in the United States.
2. Compare the financial and behavioral health profiles of adults who bet on sports through apps with those who do not, using nationally representative survey data.
3. Identify signals of rising gambling-related demand (gambling disorder diagnoses, naltrexone prescribing, help-seeking searches) alongside the limited expansion of specialty treatment supply and assess the state policy levers that could reduce harm and expand access to care.
Addiction Medicine Rounds are CME accredited. Each session will be assigned 1 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM
