This study aimed to understand the factors that may influence how and why people with intellectual disability may engage in gambling.

Through one-on-one interviews with people with an intellectual disability, and focus groups with supporters of people with an intellectual disability, this study aims to broaden the understanding of the risks gambling may have on someone with an intellectual disability.

Although researchers have explored how adults and children engage with community gambling venues, there is limited understanding about the potential risks and benefits of these venues for people with lifelong disability.
