Journal: Nordic Studies on Alcohol and Drugs

Year Published: 2020

Date Added: January 26, 2021

This study aimed to evaluate the Norwegian remote intervention programme for problem gambling. Participants were 67 individuals who completed the programme between 2017 and 2018. Twenty-five participants did the follow-up survey and telephone interview between 6 to 12 months after they finished the programme. The results showed a decrease in gambling problems, erroneous gambling beliefs, and mental health problems. Thus, remote intervention for problem gambling could lead to positive outcomes. The researchers also made some recommendations.
