Routine screening for gambling-related harm

Routine screening for gambling disorder and gambling-related harm within mental health and drug and alcohol services: A feasibility and pilot study

What is this study about?

The aim of this research is to evaluate how feasible it is to introduce a short screening questionnaire for gambling-related harm in mental health and drug and alcohol services. We also want to find out how many people may be suffering from gambling-related harm in these services.

Who can take part?

Anyone 18+ who uses LYPFT services is eligible to take part if they are able to provide informed consent.

What is involved?

Participants will fill in a screening questionnaire (10 mins) about gambling and gambling-related harm, supported by a member of the research team. All answers will be anonymised. Signposting to support services for gambling will be provided at the end of the survey if appropriate.
