Problem gambling can have many negative consequences; including on physical, and psychological health, and social functioning. There is a need to better understand treatment uptake as only a small proportion seek treatment. This is the first Irish national study using routinely gathered health surveillance data to describe treated problem gambling. Results will inform service policy and planning.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0790966722000209_as2\"><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>An analysis of episodes treated for problem gambling collected by the National Drug Treatment Reporting System was undertaken. Included were episodes entering treatment between 2008 and 2019 (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 2999). Variables of interest included service types accessed, demographics, socioeconomic information, referral and assessment details, current problems (up to five) and treatment history.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0790966722000209_as3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The majority (93.8%) were male. One fifth (20.9%) lived with dependent children, 7.4% were homeless. There were high levels of employment (35.4%) and formal education qualifications; half (53.8%) had completed second or third level education. Problem gambling frequently co-occurred with problem use of other substances (47.3%), which was most commonly alcohol (85.6%), followed by cannabis (32.3%), cocaine (28.0%) and benzodiazepines (10.9%). The majority were treated at inpatient settings (56.1%) with many self-referrals (46.3%).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0790966722000209_as4\"><jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study provides insights into treated problem gambling nationally. Monitoring and surveillance can play a crucial role in measuring the successful efforts and help inform planning and treatment. The findings may have implications for treatment pathways.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/ipm.2022.20","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,26]],"date-time":"2022-05-26T10:35:40Z","timestamp":1653561340000},"page":"94-101","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Gambling in Ireland: profile of treatment episodes from a national treatment reporting system"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Ita","family":"Condron","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Suzi","family":"Lyons","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne Marie","family":"Carew","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0790966722000209_ref26","volume-title":"Irish National Focal Point to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction.
