The aim of this study was to investigate gender differences in a sample of subjects diagnosed with pathological gambling (PG) attending three specialized outpatient units. Retrospective study was carried out of 96 patients (49% female and 51% male), comparing the main socio-demographic, clinical, and behavioral data. Most subjects (94%) met the criteria for pathological gambling. No significant differences between sexes were found in the severity of gambling behavior or the socio-demographic variables studied. Whereas slot machines were the main type of game for most subjects, a higher percentage of women were addicted to bingo (\u03c7<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup><jats:sub>(1, 4)<\/jats:sub>= 5.19,<jats:italic>p =<\/jats:italic>.029 Cohen\u2019s<jats:italic>d<\/jats:italic>= 0.48) and had more than one type of game as a secondary addiction \u03c7<jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup><jats:sub>(1, 4)<\/jats:sub>= 7.63,<jats:italic>p =<\/jats:italic>.006; Cohen\u2019s<jats:italic>d =<\/jats:italic>0.59) .

Our results indicate the existence of differences between women and men in the pattern of gambling behavior and in psychiatric comorbidity. These aspects should be considered in the design of treatment programs for pathological gamblers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/sjp.2014.88","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,1,2]],"date-time":"2015-01-02T04:30:36Z","timestamp":1420173036000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Male and Female Pathological Gamblers: Bet in a Different Way and Show Different Mental Disorders"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"17","author":[{"given":"Dominica","family":"D\u00edez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"N\u00faria","family":"Aragay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Merc\u00e8","family":"Soms","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gemma","family":"Prat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miquel","family":"Casas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,12,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.addbeh.2004.03.023"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref29","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1016620513381"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.psc.2010.01.004"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/ajp.158.10.1733"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.comppsych.2008.07.005"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref12","first-page":"34","article-title":"The vulnerable faces of pathological gambling","volume":"2","author":"Fong","year":"2005","journal-title":"Psychiatry"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0033291706007410"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref30","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1360-0443.2003.00545.x"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref28","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4088\/JCP.v64n0413"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"588","DOI":"10.15288\/qjsa.1957.18.588","article-title":"Alcoholism in women: Social and psychological concomitants","volume":"18","author":"Lisansky","year":"1957","journal-title":"Quaterly Journal of Studies on Alcohol"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref27","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1176\/appi.ajp.158.9.1500"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref23","volume-title":"Feminist perspectives on addictions","author":"Lesieur","year":"1991"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/1064-1297.10.3.302"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpsychires.2008.04.005"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref31","first-page":"364","volume-title":"International statistical classification of diseases and related health problems: ICD-10","year":"1992"},{"key":"S1138741614000882_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"539","DOI":"10.33776\/amc.v31i139.2148","article-title":"Perfil psicopatol\u00f3gico diferencial de las mujeres lud\u00f3patas: Implicaciones para el tratamiento.
