The talk will introduce the gambling industry as a commercial determinant of health. Using the UK as a case study, the presentation will examine how and why gambling industry-favourable policy systems emerge and the strategies used by the gambling industry to resist policy change that threaten its commercial interests. This will involve examining the role of the production of ignorance and the public health implications of these strategies and what can done to support the type of policy change that is needed to protect people from the products and practices of the gambling industry.
