Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Problem gambling (PG) is a major public health concern worldwide. As awareness of PG has risen, treatment demand is increasing, and internet interventions is a promising alternative for providing fast, evidence-based treatment at scale, to a low cost. This article presents the protocol of an open label, uncontrolled pilot and feasibility trial of a novel internet-delivered cognitive behavioral treatment, conducted in regular addiction care with adult treatment-seeking patients (max N=25) with problematic gambling. Weekly measures of gambling symptoms and gambling will serve as outcome measures. Study results will further guide the development of the intervention and its implementation into regular addiction care.

Study Groups

iCBT for Gambling Disorder

Treatment will consist of a 1+10 module internet delivered CBT program targeting problem gambling, newly developed. A bottom-up procedure was used to develop the treatment protocol, inspired by Clark's (2004) method for developing novel CBT treatments. We developed a clinical model delineating what factors contribute to the persistence of problem gambling behavior, and aligned these with targeted treatment interventions; based on behavioral upon research on the learning and maintenance processes of gambling behavior (Ramnerö et al, in press), theoretical models of gambling and comorbidity (Blaszczynski \& Nower, 2002); as well as qualitative interviews with treatment seeking gamblers with or without comorbidity.
