Three in 10 B.C. teens are participating in gambling or gaming behaviours that may become addictive, according to a recent report.

The McCreary Centre Society has published a report that draws on data from the 2023 Adolescent Health Survey, which includes more than 38,000 youth in the province aged 12 to 18. The survey is completed in B.C. every five years.
