Gambling addiction, 224 people in treatment in Padua: the data

There are 224 people in charge of the treatment for gambling addiction in the province of Padua: the data is reported (as reported on Agipronews) in the 23rd bulletin of the "Data Room" of As.Tro, the association of legal gaming operators, which has processed the official data provided by Ulss 6 Euganea, which manages the addiction services in the area.
Ulss 6 Euganea provides services to the 100 municipalities in the province of Padua, with a catchment area of approximately 936 thousand resident citizens: the percentage of people being treated in 2024 out of the total population is therefore 0.02%. The initiative by As.Tro serves to better understand the phenomenon of pathological gambling. For several weeks now, the association has begun to send requests for generalized civic access to all the Health Authorities present on the national territory, in order to know the number of patients being treated, for gambling addiction, in their respective territories of competence. "The aim - explain As.Tro - is to create a database, based on real numbers, whose usefulness will not only benefit operators in the sector, third sector associations involved in the fight against addiction phenomena, research bodies and political decision-makers but also public opinion itself, which deserves to be enriched by the knowledge of data regarding the issues that characterize the public debate".
