The proportion of affected others (AOs) in 2016 and the problem gambler’s relationship to the AO by gender. AO = affected other; AFM = affected family member; ANF = affected non-family member. The data (n = 7186; non-weighted) were weighted based on gender, age, and region of residence. Significance (p) was determined using Fisher’s exact test. ^a The category includes neighbors, other non-family members living in the same household, and all undefined persons. Note: it is possible that the respondents have several problem gamblers in their life, both in the family and outside the family.
