Cearrbhachas i measc daoine óga na hÉireann - Gambling among young people in Ireland

Gretta Mohan (She/her) (Research Officer, Economic and Social Research Institute & Trinity College Dublin)

This bilingual talk in Irish and English presents an overview of evidence on gambling in Ireland focusing on young people aged 20 from the Growing Up in Ireland study. It explores the types of young people in Ireland who are more likely to engage in online and regular gambling and the evidence we have on mental health and financial impacts of this in early youth.

Systematic Reviews: a piece of cake?

Éle Quinn (She/her) (PhD Student, University of Galway / Evidence Synthesis Ireland)

What are systematic reviews? Why do they matter? How can you use them to make informed health choices? What do they have to do with cake?

Prevalence of Alcohol, Recreational and Performance-Enhancing Drug use in Irish Intervarsity Collegiate Athletes

Fiona Kashmer (She/her) (Lead Strength and Conditioning Coach; Galway United women's first team and girls academy, Atlantic Technological University )

Engaging in competitive sport may yield many positive outcomes for college students. However this may cause the athletes to experience increased stress and increase the likelihood of them suffering from emotional, psychological, and developmental dysfunction in contrast to non-athletes, and potentially expose the athlete to increased risk of substance abuse. The aims of my research were to investigate prevalence of alcohol, illegal recreational and performance-enhancing drug usage in Irish intervarsity collegiate athletes, and explore motivations for substance use.
