Gambling disorder (GD) is a mental disorder where a person’s gambling causes them distress and impairment in their personal life. There are several gender differences between men and women with GD. The aim of this study was to see what factors contribute to drop out and relapse in women attending a 16-week cognitive behavioural therapy for GD. All participants were diagnosed with GD and were asked to attend weekly group therapy sessions. Out of 214 participants, 90 dropped out and 77 relapsed at least once during treatment. The researchers identified several factors that contributed to drop out and relapse. For instance, women with less severe GD but higher distress were at greater risk of dropping out. Women with less education and who did not have debt from gambling were at greater risk of relapse.
