Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Gambling Disorder 10/23/2025

While several gambling screens have been shown to be valid and reliable among different populations, the growth of gambling-related harms among emerging adults (18-24) presents a new challenge. Through research on this population, it was shown that emerging adults may experience gambling risk and harms different than other populations. In order to help emerging adults, including college students, understand whether they may be experiencing gambling-related harms, Dr. Michelle L. Malkin and Dr. Michele Stacey, of the GRPI, developed a new emerging adult gambling screen specifically relevant to the experiences of this population. The screen allows for identification of those who may need further assessment and possible treatment. This presentation lays out the new screen, its development, purposeful testing, and potential use.
