Our research
The emphasis of the AUT Gambling and Addictions Research Centre is on the conduct of applied research that informs policy and professional practice in public education, population health and primary and secondary health care.
Centre aims
The centre aims to:
- Disseminate research-based information through publications, seminars and mass media
- Advocate evidence-based gambling and addictions policy and service provision
- Develop and provide education programmes
- Promote and support postgraduate teaching and research
- Work collaboratively with other research organisations and stakeholders.
Collaboration and dissemination
As part of this work, collaborative links have been, and are being, developed and strengthened with other academic institutions (within New Zealand and internationally), government, non-government organisations, and other major stakeholders. All information and research findings are widely disseminated to inform policy development, health care providers, health professionals, students, policymakers and the wider community.
