Junior, as he was affectionately known, is a much missed friend who joined CASA in 2001 as a Doctoral Researcher and member of staff.聽Junior worked as a Research Fellow at CASA on projects such as the ESRC NeXSuS project led by Peter Allen from Cranfield. He later assisted the whole of CASA with his technical expertise as our systems administrator and was returning to Brazil to take a job at INPE when he was unexpectedly diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Junior made a big impact on everyone he met due to his friendly and cheerful nature. He had a great sense of humour and was always smiling and we miss him very much.

It's our great pleasure to present this award annually at GISRUK in memory of Sinesio Alves Junior.

Gambling harm disrupts the health and wellbeing of the individuals, as well as families, communities, and societies around them. Despite the growing recognition that gambling harms are socially and geographically uneven in its occurrence and impacts, there is limited empirical knowledge about the factors underlying the disparities.

Here, we quantitatively profile nationwide gambling survey using series of small area geodemographic data. Results from this granular analysis are synthesized to devise a composite indicator of gambling risk and vulnerability that can be mapped to provide new insights into public health strategies to tackling gambling harms in a more effective manner.
