Copen urges Brazil to include gambling harms in drug-policy framework
The Colegiado de Presidentes de Conselhos Estaduais de Políticas sobre Drogas (Copen) presented a letter in Brazil calling for gambling-related and digital-use disorders to be addressed in drug policies. The document proposes a national framework covering prevention, advertising and sponsorship rules, child protection and care services, and will be sent to the Conad and other public bodies.
The proposed framework could bring gambling advertising, sponsorship and player-protection issues into national policy discussions.
