Abstract:
To obtain preliminary information on gambling, problem gambling, and help-seeking behaviors this study was performed. for this purpose, Iranian-Canadian community members and helping professionals in the Toronto area were interviewed through focus groups and personal interviews. The study resulted that gambling is considered to be common and perceived as a social pastime among members of the Iranian community in Toronto. It was concluded that problem gambling is stigmatized, thus its significance is underestimated in the community. Lack of resources and language barriers are among factors influencing this community''s help-seeking perception and practice towards problem gambling.
