Abstract
Summary of project/aims AUT was contracted by the Ministry of Health in January 2009 to deliver a study of the effectiveness of interventions for problem gambling. Five key aims were agreed for this project, which were to:
- generate reliable findings on the effectiveness of intervention services in producing positive outcomes on a range of measures and impact on others
- increase the body of evidence available on the clinical effectiveness of common problem gambling intervention practices in New Zealand and inform future clinical practice
- compare the effectiveness (on a range of outcomes) of common problem gambling interventions in New Zealand with common problem gambling intervention practices that have been validated internationally, including pharmaceutical interventions
- identify client characteristics that mitigate the effectiveness of validated interventions, with particular attention to client ethnicity and primary gambling mode
- develop a potential two stage research proposal that builds upon this project to provide additional evidence on the long-term effectiveness and outcomes of the treatment under trial.
