Pathological gambling recovery in the absence of abstinence. |
|
ABSTRACT |
|
AIMS |
NlmCategory: OBJECTIVE |
To examine the role of abstinence from gambling versus controlled gambling in recovery from pathological gambling (PG) in a community-based survey. |
DESIGN |
NlmCategory: METHODS |
Individuals with a life-time history of PG identified in a community-based survey were divided into three groups based on their current levels of PG symptoms. These three groups were compared to each other on their past-year gambling involvement. |
SETTING |
NlmCategory: METHODS |
National general population twin survey conducted in Australia. |
PARTICIPANTS |
NlmCategory: METHODS |
Overall, there were 4764 participants in the community-based survey (mean age 37.7 years, 57.2% women). Among these were 104 participants with a life-time history of PG; of the 104 with a life-time diagnosis of PG, 28 had a past-year diagnosis of PG, 32 had past-year problem gambling and 44 had no symptoms of PG in the past year ('recovery'). |
MEASUREMENTS |
NlmCategory: METHODS |
The measure of PG was based on the NODS (NORC DSM-IV Screen for Gambling Problems). Past-year participation in 11 different gambling activities was assessed, as well as the following composite indicators: any gambling, gambling versatility, the number of days and hours spent gambling and the proportion of household income spent on gambling. |
FINDINGS |
NlmCategory: RESULTS |
Ninety per cent of those in the recovery group participated in some form of gambling in the past year. |
CONCLUSIONS |
NlmCategory: CONCLUSIONS |
In this general population survey, nearly all the PG recoveries were achieved in the absence of abstinence. Controlled gambling appears to be a popular road to recovery in the community. |
