This study was part of a larger project based in urban New South Wales, Australia. The larger project aimed to co-design, implement, and evaluate a gambling screening model. The purpose of this study was to understand health care providers’ perspectives on the implementation of this gambling screening model. The researchers interviewed nine general practitioners and community workers who implemented the screening model in 2020. They identified factors that acted as enablers and barriers to the implementation of the model. Enablers included structural factors (e.g., alignment of the screening model with current services), process (e.g., ease of use), and staffing (e.g., staff empowerment and improved knowledge). Barriers included process (e.g., unclear referral process), social (e.g., complexity of gambling harm), and structural (e.g., absence of long-term funding) factors.
