This study investigated the popular images of nine different addictions in five European countries (Poland, Norway, Germany, Finland, and Sweden). 

This deliverable is a synthesis of the work carried out in the context of the Work package 13 of the Governance view Area of the ALICE RAP and it is complemented by the book “Governance of Addictions – European Public Policies” that has been accepted to be published by Oxford University Press.

The objective of this study is to inquire the ways in which different European welfare states deal with alcoholism, compulsive gambling and eating disorders. This is studied through the perceptions of these problems as expressed by two welfare professional groups, general practitioners and social workers, in three European countries: Finland, Italy and Poland.

This topic-specific report, compiled by Gerhard Bühringer and Maria Neumann, gathers together information on the objectives and status of gambling-related work across all Areas of ALICE RAP.
