This study compared problem gamblers, problem substance users, dual-problem individuals, and persons without these problems in the general population.
On the basis of computer-assisted telephone interviews of a random sample of Texas adults (n = 6308) standard instruments were used to gauge substance use and gambling problems in the general population.
Compared with those having a substance use or gambling problem only, dual-problem individuals were more likely to be young, never-married men, without conventional religious affiliations. There was more dysfunctionality (as evidenced by treatment-seeking and problems with the law) among dual-problem respondents than among those troubled exclusively by gambling or substance use problems.
Screening and treatment for gambling problems should be offered in drug treatment and criminal justice arenas.
本研究对普通人群中的问题赌徒、问题物质使用者、双重问题个体以及无这些问题的人群进行了比较。
基于对得克萨斯州成年人随机样本(n = 6308)的计算机辅助电话访谈,使用标准工具来评估普通人群中的物质使用和赌博问题。
与仅存在物质使用或赌博问题的人相比,双重问题个体更有可能是年轻的未婚男性,且无传统宗教信仰。双重问题受访者中存在的功能障碍(以寻求治疗和法律问题为证)比仅受赌博或物质使用问题困扰的人更多。
应在药物治疗和刑事司法领域提供针对赌博问题的筛查和治疗。
