How can I ask about a risky activity and still make it easy to give an honest answer?
The authors ask adolescents about rules, support and communication alongside parental attitudes toward gambling.
Who was studied?
Five hundred and fifty-three Swedish secondary-school students responding to an online survey.
Age / stage: Upper secondary school
Read with three questions
- How were family rules for gambling distinguished from conversations about it?
- Whose perspective is represented by the ratings, and whose perspective is missing?
- How can I ask about a risky activity and still make it easy to give an honest answer?
