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. The values presented are not adjusted for age. Until 2016, the national public health survey was conducted annually. As of 2018, it has been conducted every two years, however the sample size has doubled compared to the period up to and including 2016. Multi-year averages are used in order to obtain a sufficiently large data set for regions. The multi-year averages cover a period of four years and are based on the surveys conducted during this period. No statistics for Gotland are presented in the multi-year average for 2018-2021 and 2019-2021 due to few obersvations.
