Pathological Gambling Clinical Trial
Official title:
Minimal and Brief Treatments for Pathological Gamblers: Developing Effective Treatment Systems
The purpose of the study is to examine whether problem gamblers who receive therapy calls in addition to a self-help manual will be more likely to quit or cut back on their gambling when compared with problem gamblers who receive just the manual.
With gambling becoming more accessible, the occurrence of problems related to gambling are
on the rise. The costs of problem gambling are enormous.There are social and economic costs,
the gambler can sometimes lose a significant relationship, job, or commit an illegal
activity. Pathological gamblers are also at risk for developing a general medical condition
related to stress. There is a high risk of suicide and problem gamblers also have increased
rates of mental health disorders. Relatively few people choose to attend formal treatment
programs so it's important to provide a range of options to make treatment more accessible.
The present study examines the effectiveness of minimal and brief interventions delivered by
the telephone.
Comparison(s): The "Workbook Only Control" condition involves receiving the self-help
booklet through the mail after a brief telephone assessment. The "Minimal Treatment"
condition involves receiving the same workbook but also having a motivational enhancement
intervention by telephone. The "Brief Treatment" condition provides the workbook,
motivational enhancement, and follow-up support on six occasions spread over 36 weeks. The
"Wait List Control" condition involves participants being assigned to a six week waiting
list. Participants are assessed and after a six week waiting period they will have a
reassessment at which time they will be sent the gambling self-help workbook.
