Immigrant adolescents and adolescents born of immigrant parents are at increased risk of problem gambling which has been associated to difficulties in acculturation processes. However there is a significant lack of empirical studies examining the relationships between acculturation and problem gambling among Korean American adolescents. Thus, this study investigates the prevalence of problem gambling among Korean immigrants adolescents and its relation to self-reported acculturation strategies taking into account demographic, psychological and substance use, and socio-family factors. A sample of 343 Korean American high school students residing in Los Angeles completed a survey. Results indicated that 6.4% of the sample population screened as the probable pathological gambler and 5.2% as the at-risk gambler. In a hierarchical multiple regression analysis, marginalization was positively associated with the severity of problem gambling suggesting it might serve as risk factor. But the other acculturation strategies such as individualism, integration, assimilation, and separation were not significantly related to problem gambling. Suggestions for future research and implications for prevention and intervention efforts were also discussed.
