“Hospitals, gambling, and the public good: A special responsibility”
Korn, D., & Reynolds, J. (2007).
This report presents the results of the first study in Canada to examine gambling policy and practices in Ontario hospitals and foundations. The primary purpose of the study was to explore how hospitals decide whether they are going to use gambling for fund development. Specifically, this study examined: what factors influence the adoptions of gambling programs for financial development purposes; what policies exist to guide gambling fundraising activities; whether policies vary between different hospitals within the hospital sector; and the level of awareness among the hospitals about the gaming industry as a whole. This research is introductory and descriptive and is the first of its kind to explore this issue in such detail.
