Brief Summary

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

This study will test the effects of an add-on mindfulness intervention for patients with gambling problems, added to treatment as usual, compared to a waitlist control condition. The study will primarily aim to decrease gambling behaviour compared to the control condition which receives the intervention later, after two months, and secondarily to decrease symptoms of depressive and anxiety symptoms. In addition, patients who have undergone the mindfulness intervention will be offered participation in a qualitative interview study aiming to deepen the understanding of feasibility and challenges of a mindfulness add-on intervention against gambling problems.
