The results presented are based on questions asked in the national public health survey: Have you in the past 12 months bought lottery tickets or bet money on a game? During the past 12 months, have you gambled with more money than you really could afford to lose? needed to gamble with larger amounts to get the same sense of thrill? returned another day to win back money that you lost? borrowed money or sold something to get money for gambling?
The questions about gambling were changed in 2014. This was due to the previous questions having underestimated the portion of those with problem gambling habits. Purchasing lottery tickets and similar is considered gambling. The national public health survey is a sample survey of the country's population aged 16 and older. The population aged 16 to 84 are covered before 2021. From 2021, individuals aged 25 and older are included in the statistics. Over the period 2010-2020, individuals aged 25-84 years are included in the statistics. Over the period 2004-2009, individuals aged 25-74 years are included in the statistics.
