Half–life of legacy gambling harms

Likelihood that a single harm, chosen at random[2], remains…
75% 50% 25%
Financial 1.4 yrs 5.0 yrs 16.0 yrs
Relationship 1.0 3.4 11.4
Emotional/Psych. 1.0 3.8 13.4
Health 1.2 4.6 15.8
Work/Study 0.6 2.4 9.6
Other 0.6 2.2 6.8
Average[1] 1.1 4.0 13.5

[1] The average-calculation is weighted by the prevalence of harms in each category.

[2] Figures shown are an estimate of the half-life for one specific harm chosen at random within each domain, including Financial, Relationship, etc.
