The Institute for Cognitive Science (ISSCO.), together with some other non-profit organizations, active in the area of Catania, is member of the National Campaign "Let's play" and because this involvement, it carried out a research study in some high schools during the years 2013/2014. The aim of the research has been to carry out a primary prevention project for the students of the High School “Polivalente” di San Giovanni La Punta (CT) and for the students of classes III, IV, and V of the Liceo Scientifico E. Majorana. As part of the project, an original survey was developed and used to investigate the phenomenon of pathological gambling (GAP) in the student who took part in the research. Results show that the problem is widespread, but mainly among adults. The research also demonstrated that students who took part in the study, had not valid information about pathological gambling. These results suggest the utility of organizing some psycho-educational work in the high schools for implementing a good knowledge of the phenomenon.
L’Istituto Superiore per le Scienze Cognitive (I.S.S.Co.), in partenariato con altre Associazioni del terzo settore, presenti sul territorio catanese, e aderenti alla Campagna Nazionale “Mettiamoci in gioco”, hanno lavorato, nel corso dell’anno scolastico 2013/2014 per la realizzazione di un progetto di prevenzione primaria rivolto agli studenti dell’Istituto Polivalente di San Giovanni La Punta (CT) e gli studenti delle classi III, IV, e V del Liceo Scientifico E. Majorana. Nell’ambito del progetto, è stata realizzata una scheda per indagare la conoscenza della problematica del gioco d’azzardo patologico (GAP) nella popolazione giovanile. I risultati della ricerca mostrano come il fenomeno sia diffuso, attualmente, soprattutto sopratutto tra gli adulti. Un altro risultato, scaturito dalla ricerca, è la inadeguata conoscenza del fenomeno che i giovani, del campione intervistato, hanno dimostrato. Tale dato dimostra la necessità di progettare campagne psico-educative in favore degli studenti della Scuole Medie primarie e secondari.
