Questionnaire completion times
Table A.7 (Online questionnaire completion time, by gambling status in the past four weeks) shows the online questionnaire completion time. The aim was for the online questionnaire to take an average of 20 minutes to complete. The mean time taken was 20 minutes: 22 minutes for those who had gambled in the past 4 weeks and 17 minutes for those who had not gambled in the past 4 weeks. The median time taken was lower than the mean: 16 minutes for all participants, 18 minutes for those who had gambled in the past 4 weeks and 13 minutes for those who had not gambled in the past 4 weeks1.
Table A.7: Online questionnaire completion time, by gambling status in the past 4 weeks

|---|---|---|
| All participants completing online | 20 | 16 |
| Gambled in the past 4 weeks | 22 | 18 |
| Not gambled in the past 4 weeks | 17 | 13 |
| Unweighted bases (number) | 3,314 | 3,314 |
