The NGISC relied on the report Gambling Impact and Behavior Study: Report to the National Gambling Impact Study Commission, conducted by the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) at the University of Chicago. On its Web site (www.family.org), Focus on the Family describes some of the detrimental effects of casino gambling on families.
