The prevalence of drug use and gambling survey 2014/15 included questions on gambling for the first time, at the request of the Department of Justice and Equality. The results from the survey are published in a series of Bulletins. Key findings from the survey, published in Bulletin 1, indicated that 64.5% of respondents aged 15 or older reported gambling in the 12 months prior to the survey and 41.4% of respondents reported gambling in the 30 days prior to the survey.
A detailed analysis of gambling prevalence has been completed and it is intended to publish this as Bulletin 7 later in January.
Bulletins are published on the Department of Health website

The next prevalence of drug use and gambling survey covers 2018/19.
