PURPOSE OF REVIEW
Problem gambling can have profound consequences for affected individuals, yet only a small proportion of people with problem gambling seek treatment. Mobile phone applications (apps) may provide an effective and scalable therapeutic option. The purpose of this study was to evaluate publicly available mobile apps aimed at improving problematic gambling behavior.
RECENT FINDINGS
To date, there are no published studies that have evaluated the quality of publicly available smartphone apps for problem gambling in the US. There is thus a significant gap in knowledge of existing apps for addressing problem gambling.
SUMMARY
This study included a review of 14 problem-gambling-specific apps. Apps that incorporated cognitive-behavioral therapy concepts and in-app communities were associated with better aesthetics and information quality scores. Additionally, in-app communities were associated with better engagement scores. Our results highlight the importance of evidence-based and engaging features in apps designed to help people with problem gambling.
综述目的
问题赌博可能会给受影响的个体带来深远后果，但只有一小部分有问题赌博行为的人寻求治疗。手机应用程序（应用）可能提供一种有效且可扩展的治疗选择。本研究的目的是评估旨在改善问题赌博行为的公开可用手机应用。
最新发现
迄今为止，在美国尚无已发表的研究评估过公开可用的用于解决问题赌博的智能手机应用的质量。因此，在解决问题赌博的现有应用的知识方面存在重大差距。
总结
本研究包括对14款针对问题赌博的应用进行的综述。纳入认知行为疗法概念和应用内社区的应用与更好的美学和信息质量得分相关。此外，应用内社区与更好的参与度得分相关。我们的结果凸显了基于证据且引人入胜的功能在旨在帮助有问题赌博行为者的应用中的重要性。
