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 22 minutes: 24 minutes for those who had gambled in the past 4 weeks and 20 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, 17 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.
