The Center for Gambling Studies (CGS) is an international,
multidisciplinary center for the study of gambling-related issues. The
center's mission is to promote empirical research, to evaluate
gambling-related policies and serve as a legislative resource, and to
provide nationally accredited training for compulsive gambling
counselors. The CGS is housed in the School of Social Work on the
College Avenue campus in New Brunswick.
The
mission of the Center for Gambling Studies is twofold: to drive global
decision-making on gambling-related issues by conducting strategic,
nonpartisan research and policymaking that is international and
multidisciplinary; and to benefit individuals and families adversely affected
by gambling problems by initiating innovative training and intervention
programs.
Our
focus is concentrated in three major projects and programs:
- policymaking
and harm reduction
- counselor
and student training and development
- global
and community partnerships
