This is despite families attempting to showcase evidence and raise awareness about these factors. <\/p>\n<p>The researchers spoke with 14 family members who felt that the authorities either completely ignored evidence they provided or didn\u2019t mention gambling whatsoever on the death certificate or inquest record.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>studies show the links between harmful gambling and suicidality<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Families believe that this holds back efforts to prevent future harm, as the necessary conversations are not being had. Several studies show the links between harmful gambling and suicidality.<\/p>\n<p>Gambling With Lives co-founders Charles and Liz Ritchie said the intention of the latest research isn\u2019t to put blame at the feet of coroners.
