How To Score:
If a person scores No on all of these there is no apparent problem and no action recommended.
If a person scores Yes to one of these items he/she may be at risk for developing a gambling problem. This person might want to learn more about problem gambling and monitor his/her gambling behavior.
If a person scored Yes on more than 2, but responded Once Only to Question 7, he/she may be developing a gambling problem. This person might be wise to contact us at ADSTV for an assessment. If he/she is not willing then it would be a good idea to self- monitor the gambling.
If a person scored Yes to 3 or more and answered Sometimes or Often to question 7 there is a strong indicator that a problem exists. This person would be wise to contact us at ADSTV for counselling and treatment.
ADSTV provides assessment, counselling and treatment for problem gambling.
