This study examined the prevalence of disordered gambling in substance abuse counselors. Participants (N = 328) completed an anonymous self-report survey assessing lifetime disordered gambling, past two-month gambling behavior, and current mental and physical health. The lifetime prevalence rates of pathological and problem gambling in this sample (11.9% and 6.4%, respectively) were higher than rates reported in general population surveys. Poorer physical health was associated with pathological gambling, but mental health was not. These results suggest that substance abuse counselors may benefit from education, prevention, and intervention efforts for disordered gambling.
本研究调查了药物滥用咨询师中无序赌博的患病率。参与者（N = 328）完成了一项匿名自我报告调查，评估终生无序赌博情况、过去两个月的赌博行为以及当前的身心健康状况。该样本中病态赌博和问题赌博的终生患病率（分别为11.9%和6.4%）高于一般人群调查中报告的患病率。较差的身体健康状况与病态赌博有关，但与心理健康无关。这些结果表明，药物滥用咨询师可能会从针对无序赌博的教育、预防和干预措施中受益。
