Canadian Problem Gambling Index Italiano

This article is available in: HTMLPDF

The Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) is a screening instrument frequently used to identify risk and problem gambling. Even though the PGSI has good psychometric properties, it still produces a large proportion of misclassifications. This report provides an overview of the development, validation and reliability testing of the Canadian Problem Gambling Index, developed over the last three years. This research was conducted by a research team under the aegis of the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse for the Inter-Provincial Task Force on Problem Gambling.

Abstract

'Problem' and 'pathological' gambling represent core concepts that guide gambling research today. However, divergent interpretation of the relation between these terms is continually misguiding the measurement and interpretation of empirical data, and may cumulatively lead to larger-scale problems of conclusion and policy formulation over the next decade. This paper first attempts to unravel the conceptual muddle by outlining the trajectory of the usage of the two terms, from a period where both were dimensionally similar concepts firmly situated in the addiction model to a more recent conception, which takes the view that problem gambling is distinct and properly measured by focusing on the problems that excessive gambling may cause to individuals, families, and communities. We then aim to analyse and criticize the Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI) as a clear example of the confusion of paradigms, an index that defines problem gambling in the newer, problem-centred model, but continues to measure it with items reflecting the older, addiction-centred model. We argue that results obtained using the CPGI, much like those of its predecessors, will not adequately capture the notion of harm that underpins current definitions of problem gambling.

The PGSI, developed in Canada (Ferris & Wynne, 2001), is an abbreviated version of the original tool called the Canadian Problem Gambling Index. It contains nine items rather than the original 31. Patients can use the PGSI as a self-screening tool, or primary care providers can can use it as part of the screening process.

This questionnaire, which was developed by Gamblers Anonymous, is a self-assessment for 'compulsive gambling.' It has not been scientifically tested or validated, so it should be used with caution.

Casino in brawley ca. The NODS-CLiP is a three-question screening instrument derived from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV) (Toce-Gersten et al., 2009; Volberg et al., 2011).

The DSM-5 provides diagnostic criteria for gambling disorder.
