N2  - This paper is a presentation of the results which were obtained from an epidemical study on gambling and pathological gambling carried out in the town of Punta Umbría (Huelva-Spain). It shows the data collected from a sample of 130 subjects who are under age (8-17 age), using the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS-RA) for adolescents, where it can be observed that 83,1% do not present any gambling problems, 11,5% are would be gamblers with slight problems and 5,4% could be classified as probable pathological gamblers. After describing different sociodemographic characteristics, we offer information about the frequency and use of drugs in the gamblers. It can be noted that 14,3% of the gamblers are daily smokers, with the same percentage consuming alcohol. On the other hand, 71,5% of gamblers go over the 17 points on the CDI, and 42,9% could think of committing suicide, although they would not reach the point of doing so.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
