Some employees may have recourse to gambling, notably as an adaptive strategy. Although many studies have been performed on specific occupational groups (i.e. gambling industry, transportation or teaching), none have been conducted with workers followed-up by Occupational Health Services (OHS). Our aim was to evaluate the prevalence of problem gambling in an employed population and its links with work. We performed a cross-sectional study between November 2016 and April 2017, in an OHS in France. We evaluated the prevalence of gambling using the Lie or Bet questionnaire and the Canadian Problem Gambling Index. Among the 410 employees included, 138 (33.7%) had gambled in the previous year, 12 (2.9%) considered their gambling experience to be work-related, 13 (3.2%) were identified as problem gamblers. The influence of colleagues and the workplace hierarchy and ease of access to gambling (in tobacco shops, bars…) could be risk factors. Screening for gambling behavior could be offered by occupational health services, using the Lie or Bet, especially for employees exposed to readily available gambling opportunities at their workplace.

在法国布列塔尼的一个就业人口中，问题赌博的普遍性。

有些员工可能会赌博，特别是作为一种适应性策略。尽管已经针对特定的职业群体（例如，赌博业，交通运输或教学）进行了许多研究，但没有对工人进行职业健康服务（OHS）的后续研究。我们的目的是评估问题赌博在就业人口中的普遍性及其与工作的联系。我们于2016年11月至2017年4月在法国的OHS中进行了横断面研究。我们使用Lie或Bet问卷和加拿大问题赌博指数评估了赌博的患病率。在410名员工中，上一年有138名（33.7％）进行过赌博，其中12名（2.9％）认为他们的赌博经历与工作相关，有13名（3.2％）被确定为问题赌徒。同事和工作场所等级制度的影响以及赌博的便捷性（在烟草店，酒吧等）可能是危险因素。职业健康服务可以使用“谎言”或“赌注”对赌博行为进行筛查，尤其是对于那些在工作场所容易获得赌博机会的雇员。
