abstract = {This systematic review focuses on all the gambling addiction prevention programs carried
out in schools, with the intention of making their effectiveness known and encouraging the creation
of more such programs. During the third quarter of 2021, an exhaustive search was conducted using
the databases of Scopus, Medline (via Pubmed), WOS, and PsycINFO. The search strategy was based
on a combination of specific search terms: “Gambling Disorder [Mesh]”, “Online Gambling Disorder
[Mesh]”, and “Prevention Programs [Mesh]”. A total of 15 articles were chosen for systematic
review. All the programs analyzed show effective results, although there are several methodological
shortcomings in the way they are conducted. Effective programs need to focus more on long-term
results and the emotional aspects of gambling. We need professionals who can convey the causal
nature of the problem the youth are facing.},
