November is Veterans and Military Family appreciation month, so we're having an in-depth conversation with Dr. Shane Kraus, associate professor at UNLV, about his research on gambling disorder among military veterans and active-duty service members. Dr. Kraus discusses the high rates of co-occurring mental health issues, including PTSD and suicide, the presence of slot machines on overseas military bases, and the urgent need for early screening and intervention. Learn about the policy changes and resources that could help service members struggling with gambling-related harm.
