In this cross-sectional survey study, we investigated gambling characteristics (“quick” money syndrome, frequency of gambling, preferred gambling products and platforms) and demographic (age and gender) differences as determinants of attitudes towards gambling among youths in Lagos. We used a purposive snowball technique to recruit 179 respondents in Lagos (men: n = 165 [83.8% of participants]; women: n = 32) with a history of gambling activities. Gambling characteristics, demographics, and attitudes towards gambling were measured by using a gambling characteristics profile, the bio-data of the respondents, and the short form of the Attitudes Towards Gambling Scale (ATGS-8), respectively. The results showed that respondents believed that to make quick money, one needed to gamble once a week or more (67%), wager on sports betting (37.1%), and bet online (65.5%). The mean ATGS-8 composite score (28.2 ± 4.75) indicated overall positive attitudes among respondents. Independent sample t tests showed a significant difference between older (24–34 years) and younger (18–23 years) youths in their attitudes towards gambling (t = -2.30, p < .05) but no significant gender differences (t = 0.06, p > .05). One-way analysis of variance revealed a significant difference in attitudes towards gambling based on gambling frequency, F(3, 196) = 6.86, p < .05, with those who gamble monthly having the highest score. Participants displayed the belief that the easiest way to quick money is to gamble at least once weekly and to bet online. Younger participants and those who gamble at least once a month reported more positive attitudes towards gambling. Youths need to be made aware that gambling is not a viable source of income.RésuméCette étude s’est penchée sur les caractéristiques de la pratique des jeux de hasard (syndrome de l’argent « facile », fréquence du jeu, produits et plateformes des jeux de choix) et les différences démographiques (âge et genre) en tant que déterminants des attitudes envers le jeu chez les jeunes au Lagos. Un échantillon de 197 joueurs (hommes; n = 165 [83,8% des participants], femmes ; n = 32) a été choisi à dessein à l’aide d’un sondage en boule de neige aux endroits suivants :  guichets de paris sportifs, kiosques de loterie, centres de visualisation de matches de football, centres commerciaux, centres de détente et parcs de sport automobile à Lagos, au Nigeria. Les attitudes ont été mesurées à l’aide de l’échelle des attitudes envers les jeux de hasard (ATGS-8). Les résultats montraient que les répondants croyaient que pour gagner de l’argent facilement aux jeux de hasard, il fallait jouer au moins une fois par semaine (67 %), faire des paris sportifs (37,1%), et parier en ligne (65,5 %). Le pointage combiné moyen de l’ATGS-8 (2,2 ± 4,75) indiquait dans l’ensemble des attitudes positives chez les répondants; un test t sur échantillon indépendant a révélé une différence importante dans l’attitude envers les jeux de hasard entre les joueurs jeunes plus âgés et plus jeunes (t =-2.30, p < 0.05), mais aucune différence significative entre les genres (t = 0.06, p > 0.05). L’analyse de variance à un critère de classification révèle des différences importantes dans les attitudes envers les jeux de hasard en fonction de la fréquence de la pratique de ces jeux (F (3 196) =6.86, p < 0.05); et ceux qui jouent tous les mois obtenaient le pointage le plus élevé. Les participants démontraient irréfutablement la conviction selon laquelle le moyen le plus facile de faire de l’argent facile est de jouer à des jeux de hasard au moins une fois par semaine et de parier en ligne. Les participants plus jeunes et ceux qui s’adonnent aux jeux de hasard au moins une fois par mois faisaient preuve d’attitudes plus positives à l’égard des jeux de hasard. Il faut faire comprendre aux jeunes que la pratique des jeux de hasard ne représente pas une source de revenu viable.

This article presents the results of a questionnaire survey conducted in a Danish upper secondary school where alternative options of physical activity have been provided to the students. The purpose of the study is to gain knowledge about the perspectives of the students concerning physical education (PE), sport and exercise. The study illustrates young people’s practices, preferences and perceptions when physical activity is a gender-integrated activity as is the case in Denmark. The results are discussed in a figurational perspective viewing PE, sport and exercise as interdependent dimensions influencing young people’s participation in and views on physical activity. The study shows that even though we have a long tradition of gender-integrated PE in Denmark, very traditional gender differences similar to countries with gender-segregated PE prevails. The article, therefore, discusses the significance of cultural rather than structural circumstances while studying practices, preferences and perceptions of physical activity among young people.

A survey study examined the attitudes of interdisciplinary team members toward public school speech-language programs. Perceptions of clinicians' communication skills and of the clarity of team member roles were also explored. Relationships between educators' attitudes toward our services and various variables relating to professional interactions were investigated. A 64-item questionnaire was completed by 346 randomly selected respondents from a two-state area. Classroom teachers of grades kindergarten through 3, teachers of grades 4 through 6, elementary school principals, school psychologists, and learning disabilities teachers comprised five professional categories which were sampled randomly. Analysis of the results revealed that educators generally had positive attitudes toward our services; however, there was some confusion regarding team member roles and clinicians' ability to provide management suggestions. Implications for school clinicians were discussed.
