A quick note on the role of the media in addictive behaviour

Questions on the influence of the media on addictive behaviour will either ask about positive, negative, or both effects on addiction. If they ask for the negative effects, use the research studies I outlined in my post on risk factors for addiction (Gunsekera, Dalton and Distefan), and if they ask for the positive effects, use your knowledge of the Toxic Cycle and Gamble Aware campaigns outlined in my post on public health interventions.
