    Chasing the money : student and teacher feedback
    (Addictions Foundation of Manitoba, 1999-08) Doupe, Malcolm B. (Malcolm Bray), 1965-; Addictions Foundation of Manitoba
    In the fall of 1998, the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba and the Manitoba Theatre for Young People developed the play "Chasing the Money", with the primary purpose of increasing youth awareness on issues related to gambling, including how gambling can become a problem for some people, and the negative impact gambling can have on those around the gambler. The play was presented to various schools throughout Manitoba in the spring of 1999. As a means of determining the effectiveness of the play, study guide, and discussions, student surveys were distributed to a sample of students, and teacher surveys were sent to all teachers. The present document highlights key findings from each of these surveys.

    Gambling and seniors : the final report on the survey of key informants
    (The Foundation, 1999-08) Doupe, Malcolm B. (Malcolm Bray), 1965-; Addictions Foundation of Manitoba
    A Senior Gambling Survey was developed by the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba (AFM) as a means to better understand the nature of senior gambling, types of problems associated with gambling, and how to most effectively offer gambling services to the senior population. 25 key informants who were community professionals were asked to complete the Senior Gambling Survey. Findings indicate gambling affects seniors as it relates to themes of finances (excessive spending), family or relationship problems (disputes over amount of money and time spent on gambling), or health-related issues (depression, lack of self esteem, increase of smoking/drinking). Researchers suggest the AFM should begin providing seminars to both professionals and seniors in order to inform community member about AFM and reducing any stigma that is attached to that organization. Advertisement was suggested as a means of educating seniors. To reduce senior access barriers to AFM, providing outreach rehabilitative services were advocated.

    Gambling in Asian communities : the final report on the survey of key informants
    (Addictions Foundation of Manitoba, 1999-08) Doupe, Malcolm B. (Malcolm Bray), 1965-; Addictions Foundation of Manitoba
    The purpose of this study was to assess Asian Canadian communities leaders' perceptions on: the nature of gambling and the problems associated with this activity, and how to effectively offer prevention and rehabilitation services within these communities. Sixty-two community leaders completed the Key Informants Survey in person or by telephone. Results indicated that problem gambling in these communities might result in financial, family/relationship, and/or employment related issues. Further, it was suggested that many people in these communities hesitate to use the Addictions Foundation of Manitoba's (AFM) services because they do not feel that the AFM fully understands the cultural complexity of gambling related problems in their communities.
