A Survey of Gambling Behaviors in Michigan, 1999 (original) (raw)

State Gambling Project, participated fully in the development and design of the work reported here. David Hartman was responsible for all data collection and for preparation of the report of 1999 findings. He is the primary author of this report. William Wiersma synthesized and reported findings from this and the 1997 report. Rob Wright again did the CATI system programming. Rob and Wally Post created and cleaned the SPSS data file and the statistical output that is reported in these pages. Several persons associated with the Kercher Center for Social Science Research conducted interviews and/or supervised interviewers. Their assistance is acknowledged and appreciated. Their conscientious efforts have allowed the collection of an invaluable data set. As in 1997, the most important debt is to the 1,717 Michigan residents who gave of their time and experience to answer our questions about gambling.
