They will purchase enough billboards and enough bus stop signs to alert people that it's National Problem Gambling Awareness Month and they'll have some little image. The way I did the nonprofit version of that in Nevada one year, I printed up a bunch of laminated signs, and I had an in that year at the Reno Transit Authority and I got the bus system to put my own laminated signs in the back of every bus and did that for a week, they allowed me to do it for a week, for free and I got a handful of clients, like out of nowhere, that had no idea that the Reno Problem Gambling Center existed, just because I put, if you have a gambling problem and a phone number and a picture of us in the busses. And what a huge impact that was for us. We brought in a couple of homeless, mentally ill people who were taking the bus and had no idea that there was nonprofit help available for them. So I went off on a rant there, I wanted you to know that education is a huge element in prevention navigate to this website
Thank you, prevention people and all of you that do any aspect of prevention. We're way behind drugs and alcohol in the world of information and prevention (mumbles). This next slide is gonna launch you into a whole bunch of data that we wanna give you about the Oregon 2008 Prevalence Study on youth gambling and their adult counterparts, their parents and I would like to let you know that you've been patiently listening to us for a solid hour, it's five minutes after one. This would be the perfect time to get up and stretch, and to get a drink of water and to go run to the restroom and wants to do that does that. Is there anything, Denise, that we could chat about that's just not super important? Into this absolute fabulous study that I put in very small print. So I am gonna read some of this off the slide for the people who may or may not be able to see it. - [Voiceover] Well, do we also want to, this is Denise E., let them know that these slides will be available to them. - [Voiceover] Oh, yes. Let's tell you where they're available. I'm going to put them up on the Reno Problem Gambling Center website, which is renopgc.org, Denise is gonna put them on - [Voiceover] The Quest website, which is questreno.com, oh my gosh, I never... - [Voiceover] It just went right out of your head? - [Voiceover] It just went right out of my head and it's also... - [Voiceover] available on the CASAT site. - [Voiceover] Exactly, which might be your easiest bet. - [Voiceover] And right here, we're being told that you can pull it up while you're on it with us, you can get these slides in the form of a handout and what we will promise you is that if you want more than what you see on these slides, if you want us to explain it, if you want us to pick and choose and just send you one or two, all you have to do is email us or call us and we'd be happy to do that for you. - [Voiceover] I just wanted to make sure because this is an awful lot of information all at one time, so go ahead Denise, sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt you. - [Voiceover] Oh, you can interrupt any time. I'm hoping that in the feedback, we wanna hear feedback about how you guys like this conversational approach because we did our dress rehearsal yesterday and we actually had a lot of fun making it in this talk show dress rehearsal sort of manner, we realized, you know, it's more relaxed, and there will, I'm sure that there will be some people who want the data and some people who want the conversation, so we're gonna be trying to appeal to the best of both worlds.
