The piece was written by Aaron Diehr, PhD, CHES, Assistant Professor and Program Director for the Bachelor of Science in Public Health at Southern Illinois University and Marilyn Rule, MSW, Problem Gambling Program Director at Zepf Center in Toledo, Ohio.

Thanks Tiffany! Interesting blog. Really hits home the need to:

1. Develop different communications for different needs/audiences (i.e. some featuring slot machines and others sports betting); and

2. The importance of involving the target audience in the design, testing and evaluation of the communication strategy in order to minimize potential unintended negative consequences.
