Prevention isn’t about ‘help’
• Evidence gap – encouraging uptake of
responsible gambling resources and

Options to suit users
Layer low, medium, and high

• Ongoing funding needed for development, evaluation & updates
• Continue to build capacity to improve ongoing support services
Thank you, questions?

Who Am I?
• Problem gambling researcher since early
1990’s
– Applied research projects include treatment outcome
studies and development of GAMTOMS
• SBIRT researcher in the last decade
• At the risk of being over-simplistic, the keys
to treating a problem gambler:
• Develop a therapeutic alliance with the person.
• Help him/her to break the functional value of their
gambling.

What are the good things about ugambling?
What else?” (Ask again until nothing else.)
Cons
“What don’t you like as much about gambling?
What are the not-so-good things ?
What else?” (Ask again until nothing else.)
DECISIONAL BALANCE EXERCISE
More probing
“If you were to stop gambling, what would be the good things that might
happen?
What would be the bad things? “
“If you were to continue to gamble, what would be the good things that might
happen?
What would be the bad things? “
SBIRT

Summary
• The SBIRT approach is an
emerging and promising set of
tools to address those with a
gambling problem.
• Evidence-based and evidenced-
informed models from the drug
abuse literature can be
harnessed for the PG field.
• Apply a PG-focused SBIRT to
clients in drug treatment and
mental health clinics.
