Effectiveness Trials/Mechanisms/Systems Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) - efficacy Uncontrolled Trials Descriptive Accounts/case studies
3
Does this work in the real world? Real clients, group vs. individual, therapists competence? How does it work? Can we make it more efficient or more effective? What place does it have in the overall range of treatment options?

Gooding & Tarrier (2009) 25 CBT trials - very diverse Mode: Individuals, group, self-directed Therapy: CBT, Imaginal desensitization, CBT-MI combos Type of gambling: Length: 4 to 112 sessions (Median = 14.5) Large effects at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months Better quality studies, smaller effects File drawer effect – 585 studies required.
11
Two examples…. Coping Skills Treatment Trial Self-directed Treatment (Motivational Interviewing & workbook)
12
Nancy Petry’s 8 session CBT (Petry, 2005) Each session has a worksheet Overall goal is to improve coping skills Petry et al. (2007) – coping skills improvement does lead to better outcomes (i. e., effective ingredient)

16
Motivational Interviewing Premise: what an individual says about change during MI is related to subsequent change Theory: verbalizing an intention to change (CHANGE TALK) leads to public and personal obligation to modify one’s behavior Does amount of Change Talk correlate with change in gambling behavior? 12 monthsr = -.35* * p <.05 Hodgins, Ching & MacEwan,, 2009
17
Does MI reduce drop-out? Effectiveness of individual versus group formats? Does giving clients a choice of goals make a difference (Abstinence versus controlled gambling)?
18
Large issue for CBT, GA, etc. Wulfert et al. (2006) pilot study Standard treatment dropout 34%, post- treatment SOGS = 10.4 CBT-MI dropout 0%, post-treatment SOGS 1.2 Subsequent CBT-MI combos – perhaps slight decrease in drop-out?
19
MI (4 sessions) Group CBT (8 sessions) Waitlist MI, GCBT > waitlist Attendance Mi: M = 2.9 of 4 sessions (72%) GCBT: 5.6 of 8 sessions (70%) Mi: 43% attended all 4 GCBT: 29% attended all 8 More to learn – we need to do better with drop-out
20
Dowling at al. (2007) women in CBT Oei & Raylu (2010) both genders in CBT- MI combo Treatment manual Slight advantages for 1:1 Implications?
21
Alcohol field – appropriate goal for less severe dependence, more socially stable clients; people choose appropriately over time “recovered” individuals in community surveys are typically doing some gambling (Slutske et al., 2010) Some treatment studies offer this (e.g. Hodgins)
22
Dowling at al., (2009) 12 session CBT Abstinent goalCut down goal Post treatment – no diagnosis 84%83% Six month – no diagnosis 89%83% Depression (BDI) 8.97.1 Gambling frequency 0.30.5
23
Toneatto & Dragonetti (2008) CBT (8 sessions) Abstinence goal – 35% Twelve-step facilitation (8 sessions) Abstinence goal – 96% No difference in treatments Clients choosing abstinence had more severe problems, attended more treatment, and were more likely to meet their personal goals at 12 mos.
24
Ladouceur at al. (2009) CBT (12 sessions) aimed at control No diagnosis – post treatment -63%, six months- 56%, 12 months -51% 66% shifted goal to abstinence, more likely to meet their goal Offering choice did not seem to reduce dropout. (31%)
25
People do move towards the appropriate goal – does offering goal choice increase treatment seeking? Moving in the right direction in terms of offering better treatments, that people stick with. Both RCTs and effective studies are useful Treatment system issues largely unaddressed - < 10% treatment uptake – how do we get people to participate in self- directed recovery or attend treatment?
27
General population knows about gambling problems Perceived addictiveness Perceived prevalence
28
Wild, Hodgins, Patten, Coleman, el-Guebaly, Schopflocher, 2010
30
Reasons for seeking treatment studies Consistent findings Trying it on your own is the first step (98%) Worries about future consequences is a major motivator (Suurvali et al., 2010) Messages: Early signs of problems Basic change strategies Nipping it in the bud
31
Evidence that campaigns increase treatment-seeking Productivity Commission Report, 2010 review Web-site and helpline spikes
32
Moving in the right direction in terms of offering better treatments, that people stick with. Both RCTs and effective studies are useful Treatment system issues largely unaddressed but research suggests some strategies to get people to participate in self-directed recovery or attend treatment
