To date, no screening tests for gambling disorders have been adapted and validated in Central and Eastern Europe. The aim of this study is to adapt the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) and Lie/Bet questionnaire (Lie/Bet) and assess their psychometric properties once translated for use with the Polish population. A mixed sample (N = 300) was drawn from venues, social media, snowballing and treatment centers. PGSI had a higher coefficient of predictive power than Lie/Bet. However, differences between validated tests are not significant. Validation of screening tests of gambling disorders showed the necessity for verification of the scale of interpretation of results when conducting tests in Poland, changing cutoff values. The PGSI and Lie/Bet tests are short and easy to apply, they can be implemented in various types of institutions: for screening patients in primary health care facilities and for identifying comorbid gambling disorders in alcohol- and drug-dependence treatment facilities, and in social welfare centers.
迄今为止，中东欧地区尚未采用和验证针对赌博障碍的筛查测试。本研究的目的是对问题赌博严重程度指数（PGSI）和说谎/下注问卷（Lie/Bet）进行改编，并在将其翻译成波兰语后评估其心理测量特性。通过场所、社交媒体、滚雪球抽样和治疗中心抽取了一个混合样本（N = 300）。PGSI的预测能力系数高于Lie/Bet。然而，经过验证的测试之间的差异并不显著。赌博障碍筛查测试的验证表明，在波兰进行测试时，有必要核实结果解释的量表，改变临界值。PGSI和Lie/Bet测试简短且易于应用，它们可以在各类机构中实施：用于在初级卫生保健机构筛查患者，以及在酒精和药物依赖治疗机构及社会福利中心识别共病的赌博障碍。
