Emerging adults—those in the 18-29 age group—are at particular risk for developing an addiction to gambling for various reasons. Historically, this population has been challenging to reach for those wanting to communicate prevention and awareness messages.
Recognizing the importance of educating young adults, MNAPG is intensifying its outreach by developing a new webpage tailored to this audience. We are also focusing on three key groups:
- athletes and athletic directors
- campus counselors and student health center staff
- Emerging adults—18-29-year olds
