System‐frame interventions to prevent gambling harms and beyond
System-frame interventions to prevent gambling harms and beyondLiving environments should be designed in a way that promotes health.Evidence-based gambling addiction prevention, therefore, requires systemic (s-frame) interventions that are considered both effective and cost-efficient.Future research should not only evaluate the effects associated with these interventions, but also examine the factors that hinder their implementation.Heirene's [1] recent contribution makes an important observation for gambling research and regulation: the overreliance on behavioral measures to prevent gambling-related harms, coupled with a widespread disregard for environmental prevention approaches.The author draws on the taxonomy of individual-frame and system-frame interventions published by Chater and Loewenstein [2].Heirene [1]raises many important points and I am using this comment for some additional remarks.
