Early detection and intervention could make a big difference in helping people with gambling disorder, which often goes undiagnosed and untreated. However, there is low awareness about how or why to expand screening for Gambling Disorder. One U.S. national study from Harvard Medical School reported that although none of those who were identified as meeting lifetime diagnostic criteria for Gambling Disorder reported seeking treatment for those problems, about half were involved in behavioral treatment for other psychiatric problems. This tells us that expanding screening for Gambling Disorder could improve identification of gambling problems and increase the rate of treatment-seeking among people with this disorder.

Responsible gambling (RG) algorithms appear to have become more complex and nuanced over time, with “AI” and “machine learning” serving as buzz words to signal their legitimacy. However, no matter how complex our models, they are only as valid as the data and outcomes upon which they are built and validated. This talk entreats the audience to return to basics and consider both the building blocks and pitfalls of RG algorithms. The talk will touch on the outcomes used to validate and evaluate these algorithms, how we distinguish involvement from risk for problems, potential algorithmic biases, and the proper use of algorithms within a larger RG system.
Identifying mechanisms of change in psychotherapeutic treatment models has significant implications for addictive disorders. Dr. Lee will discuss her research showing that Congruence Couple Therapy can have better outcomes than individual-based therapies for clients with gambling problems.
