Objectives for future
research in this area include: a) using data from representative, population - based samples, b) using well - matched comparison groups of non-fathers (to
compare with fathers), c)
longitudinal research extending both prior to and post the perinatal period, and d) acquiring data from both partners («dyad data»).
Compared to non-LD peers, youth with LD frequently report feelings of loneliness, stress, depression and suicide, among other psychiatric symptoms.15, 16 For example, in the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health, the LD sample was twice as likely to report a suicide attempt in the past year.16 Longitudinal research on risk - taking indicates that, compared to non-LD peers, adolescents with LD engage more frequently in various risk behaviours.17 Therefore, the presence of LD in childhood appears to confer a general risk for adverse outcomes throughout adolescence and into ad

Among several other principles, the authors suggest that researchers interested in measuring gambling's impact should avoid applying arbitrary monetary values to non-monetary impacts, create impact profiles instead of a bottom line, examine micro and macro geographic impacts,
compare impacts with changes in control communities, apply basic economic principles to their evaluation, and use
longitudinal research designs when possible.
