Abstract
A Rasch Analysis was conducted to evaluate the severity of harms assessed by items of the Gambling Harm Measure (GHM). Using data from three cross-sectional surveys, we found that the items of the GHM differentiated between varying levels of harm and behaved in a manner consistent with the existing literature.
