Research evidence has been accumulating that unidentified problem gambling contributes to increased treatment costs and decreased treatment effectiveness across behavioral and general health care settings. While many evidence-based brief problem gambling screens have been developed, it has become clear that such screens do not work in actual clinical practice as they do in research studies. This workshop will discuss the gap between research and practice and present strategies to implement effective screening, brief interventions, and referrals to treatment for problem gambling in a variety of clinical settings.
