The Health Survey for England is a national survey and its stratified, random probability sample is designed to be representative of the population living in private households in England. Questions about gambling and problem gambling were included in the survey in 2015 and in 2012. The 2015 survey data were published in a report by the Gambling Commission, available at:<\/p>
