Gamble Alert reports underage gambling findings from Lagos school survey
Gamble Alert reported findings from a survey of 800 students at four public secondary schools in Alimosho, Lagos State. The study found that 35.3% of students had gambled, while 53.7% of underage gamblers cited friends or peers as a reason for betting; the organisation said the tour involved the Lagos State Lotteries and Gaming Authority and other participants.
The findings inform prevention efforts by identifying peer influence and adult-mediated betting as factors linked to student gambling.
