Journal: Addiction Science & Clinical Practice

Year Published: 2021

Date Added: August 13, 2021

This article is a review of screening and brief interventions for problem gambling in community and health care settings. The authors found nine research studies and 13 grey literature sources. Three studies described interventions delivered in general practice, mental health service, and substance use treatment service. The other six studies explored the possibility of screening for problem gambling in various settings. The grey literature sources were examples of interventions that had been adapted from substance use by practitioners. Overall, screening for problem gambling in community and health care settings is possible. There is a need for evaluation of success.
