Despite high rates of comorbidity among pathological gambling, substance use disorders, and other psychiatric conditions, health professionals rarely screen their clients for gambling problems. We report on the performance of the NODS-CLiP, an existing brief, three-item screen for problem and pathological gambling, and an alternative four-item screen that demonstrates improved sensitivity, good positive and negative predictive power, and invariance across key demographic groups . Given the high rates of comorbidity, routine and accurate identification of gambling-related problems among individuals seeking help for substance abuse and related disorders is important. The original and the alternative brief screens are likely to be useful in a range of clinical settings.
尽管病理性赌博、物质使用障碍和其他精神疾病之间存在很高的共病率，但卫生专业人员很少对其客户进行赌博问题筛查。我们报告了 NODS-CLiP 的表现，这是一种现有的简短的、三项问题和病理性赌博筛查工具，以及一个替代的四项筛查工具，它显示出更高的敏感性、良好的阳性和阴性预测力，以及在关键人口统计学群体中的不变性。鉴于共病率很高，在寻求物质滥用和相关障碍治疗的个体中，常规和准确识别与赌博相关的问题非常重要。原始和替代的简短筛查工具可能在各种临床环境中都很有用。
