Secondary goals included assessing the impact of \u201cwork status,\u201d \u201cfamily relationship,\u201d \u201cleisure,\u201d and \u201cenrolment in Gamblers Anonymous (GA)\u201d on gambling (all items from the scale), together with the impact of treatment.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Method:<\/jats:title>\n Using the GFS, 3 independent raters interviewed gamblers under treatment. The sample was collected in 2 university centres in the city of S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil. Patients attended psychotherapy coupled with psychiatric follow-up, participation in GA, or both.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n We interviewed 47 pathological gamblers; 13 were interviewed twice, with a minimum interval of 6 months, for a total of 60 GFS interviews. Interviews took on average 6.0 minutes, SD 2.7. Interrater concordance ranged from 82% to 95% (intraclass correlation coefficient range 0.85 to 0.99, P < 0.001). A factorial analysis showed a 1-factor solution (Eigenvalue = 2.4, 47.6% of total variance accounted). \u201cLeisure,\u201d \u201cfrequency and time gambling,\u201d and \u201cfamily relationship\u201d showed considerable loadings (0.84; 0.71; 0.71), whereas \u201cenrolment in GA\u201d and \u201cwork status\u201d showed moderate loadings (0.59; 0.56). A linear regression model significantly correlated gambling ( R\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n = 0.356; P < 0.001) with \u201cleisure\u201d and length of treatment. Treatment modalities affected \u201cleisure\u201d ( F\n 2,43<\/jats:sub>\n = 5.00, P = 0.011), with GA attendees reporting more regular and gratifying activities.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n The GFS showed interrater reliability and construct validity. More leisure and lengthier treatment were significantly related to less gambling. GA enrolment seemed to particularly benefit the quality of leisure. Future studies could profit from the quickness and simple structure of the GFS in providing shareable outcome measures.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/070674370505000202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,20]],"date-time":"2017-07-20T09:58:54Z","timestamp":1500544734000},"page":"81-86","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["The Gambling Follow-up Scale: Development and Reliability Testing of a Scale for Pathological Gamblers under Treatment"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Viviane","family":"de Castro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychologist, The Gambling Outpatient Unit, Institute and Department of Psychiatry, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniel","family":"Fuentes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Psychologist, The Gambling Outpatient Unit, Institute and Department of Psychiatry, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hermano","family":"Tavares","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coordinator, The Gambling Outpatient Unit, Institute and Department of Psychiatry, University of S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-070674370505000202","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.publhealth.23.100901.140532"},{"key":"bibr2-070674370505000202","first-page":"22","volume":"48","author":"Tavares H","year":"2003","journal-title":"Are there cognitive and behavioural approaches specific to the treatment of pathological gambling?
