those most in need of support.</p><p>The Department commissioned Public Health England
to undertake the first ever comprehensive evidence review focussed on gambling-related

gambling, alongside the social and economic burden of gambling-related harms. This
includes reviewing the evidence on young people, men and women. The review will be
published later this year.</p><p>Alongside this, the National Institute of Health
Research commissioned a research unit in Sheffield University to undertake a mapping
review of the effectiveness of national and international policies and interventions
to reduce gambling-related harms.</p>
