Note. For frequency of gambling the categories were: 0 = no gambling in the past year, 1 = gambled 1–5 times, 2 = gambled 6–9 times, 3 = gambled 10 or more times. For largest amount gambled, the categories were: 0 = $0, 1 = $1 to $10, 2 = $11 to $99, 3 = $100 and higher.

Ref = reference group.

For past year gambling: Model χ² (N = 1122, df = 16) = 216.14, p < .0001.

For frequency of gambling: Model χ² (N = 1123, df = 16) = 242.17, p < .0001.

For largest amount gambled: Model χ² (N = 1123, df = 16) = 232.16, p < .0001.
