Gambling Addiction in Academic Contexts: A Comparative Look at University Students and Teachers in the Panamanian Educational System addresses a growing and little explored problem in Panama: the impact of pathological gambling in the educational environment. This book, based on three research studies, reveals how both university students and teachers in official schools face addictive behaviors related to gambling, driven by factors such as academic pressure, family problems, personal dissatisfaction and the social environment. Although the gambling industry has grown exponentially in the country, with an increase in online gambling, slot machines and lotteries, its effects on those who form and are part of the educational system remain invisible. This book offers a comparative analysis that makes visible the deterioration of personal well-being, academic and work performance, and family dynamics affected by pathological gambling. An urgent invitation to reflect on a silent phenomenon that demands attention and concrete actions.
