Gambling's Effect on Military Veterans | Dr. Nathan Smith, Executive Director at Kindbridge Research Institute

Dr. Nathan Smith is the founding Executive Director of Kindbridge Research Institute, a nationally recognized scientist and science communicator, and a leader in the field of behavioral addiction research and theory.  In this episode we discuss the importance of understanding how gambling addiction effects various segments of the US population and how the Kindbridge Research Institute is laser focused on supporting our Military Veterans.  Nate's passion for the study of gambling addiction really shines throughout the episode including: the importance of epidemiology and how it allows us to "get it right" and how the terminology we use to describe a gambling addiction needs clarification.  We're fortunate to have an advocate like Nate who is championing the study of gambling disorders.   Kindbridge Research Institute Why Military Personnel are 3.5x More Prone to Problem Gambling The Military Treatment Fund DraftKings and Kindbridge Research Fund About Kindbridge Research Institute Gateway Foundation Gambling Treatment Call Gateway Foundation: 855-723-0963 Gambling Problem?
