Redefining Responsibility: A New Look at Gambling and Drinking Behaviors

What does it truly mean to be “responsible” when it comes to gambling and drinking? At the International Conference on Addiction Medicine, Mental Health and Psychiatry (ICAMP 2026), Professor Robert Ladouceur from Laval University, Canada, will explore this critical question in his keynote presentation.

With decades of experience in gambling research, Prof. Ladouceur will shed light on how personal choices, corporate ethics, and societal norms intersect to define responsibility — and how this understanding can reshape prevention and treatment in addiction.
