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 at Rutgers University-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
