Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Does the intervention reduce harmful gambling behaviors? Does the intervention increase responsible gambling practices? Researchers will compare participants receiving the RESPONSIBLEPLAY© intervention with those receiving a knowledge-based intervention to see if the RESPONSIBLEPLAY© intervention is more effective.
Participants will:
Attend three face-to-face sessions on responsible gambling over three weeks. Complete surveys before, after, and eight weeks after the intervention to track their progress.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The RESPONSIBLEPLAY© intervention addresses both the initiation and sustenance of behavior change, incorporating elements such as participatory dialogue, behavioral confidence, and changes in the social and physical environments. The intervention aims to equip participants with practical strategies to manage and limit gambling behaviors.
The study will take place over a three-week period, with face-to-face sessions designed to engage participants in discussions and self-guided activities that promote responsible gambling. Follow-up assessments will be conducted at eight weeks post-intervention to evaluate the long-term impact of the intervention. A two-factor repeated measures analysis will be used to assess changes in gambling behaviors and related psychological constructs over time.
The findings from this study may provide critical evidence to support the use of theory-based interventions to reduce gambling-related harms in a college student population, which can inform future public health strategies.

RESPONSIBLEPLAY© MTM-Based Intervention
Participants will receive a theory-based intervention designed to promote responsible gambling behaviors using the Multi-theory Model (MTM) of health behavior change. The intervention focuses on both the initiation and sustenance of responsible gambling through six constructs:
Participatory Dialogue: Discussing the pros and cons of responsible gambling. Behavioral Confidence: Building confidence to practice responsible gambling. Changes in the Physical Environment: Modifying surroundings to limit gambling opportunities.
Emotional Transformation: Managing emotions to maintain behavior change. Practice for Change: Planning and practicing responsible gambling strategies. Changes in the Social Environment: Leveraging support from family, friends, and professionals.
This intervention aims to provide practical strategies for adopting and maintaining responsible gambling behaviors.
RESPONSIBLEPLAY© MTM-Based Intervention
Participants in this group will receive a theory-based intervention using the Multi-theory Model (MTM) of health behavior change. The intervention includes participatory dialogue, behavioral confidence-building, and strategies to modify the physical and social environments. It also incorporates emotional transformation and practice for change. Sessions will be delivered in-person over three weeks, focusing on promoting responsible gambling behaviors.
Knowledge-Based Intervention
Participants will receive educational content about the risks of gambling and strategies for responsible gambling in the form of lectures and reading materials.
Knowledge-Based Intervention
Participants in this group will receive a knowledge-based intervention that provides information on gambling risks and responsible gambling strategies. The intervention consists of lectures and reading materials delivered in-person over three weeks. It focuses on raising awareness of gambling risks but does not include the behavioral change strategies used in the MTM-based intervention.
