abstract = {When we started the process of creating this special issue ofPublic Health,we were seeking to respond to an increasing call to recognise gambling harms as a public health problem and to address concerns about a potential growing epidemic of harms that threatened the health and well-being of populations across the globe. That this is increasingly being accepted as a public health issue, albeit among a relatively small field of gambling researchers and practitioners, is not in question. However, the question that faced us was what such a response, for this Journal, at this point in time, should look like.},
