Questionnaire completion times
Table A.7 (Online questionnaire completion time, by gambling status in the past 4 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 23 minutes: 27 minutes for those who had gambled in the past 4 weeks and 19 minutes for those who had not gambled in the past 4 weeks. The median time taken was lower than the mean: 17 minutes for all participants, 21 minutes for those who had gambled in the past 4 weeks and 14 minutes for those who had not gambled in the past 4 weeks1.
