State officials are kicking off a campaign to raise awareness of problem gambling. The state efforts are part of National Problem Gambling Awareness Month. The leaders want to increase public awareness of the availability of treatment and recovery services and to encourage health care providers to screen patients for problem gambling. Penn State research shows approximately 16 percent of adult residents engaged in some form of online gambling last year with most of that coming in sports betting. You can find out more information at the state’s website, responsibleplay-dot-p-a-dot-gov.
