The Statewide Gambling Therapy Service (SGTS) provides treatment for problem gamblers in key metropolitan and rural regions in South Australia. The aims of this study were two-fold: to analyse the short and mid-term outcomes following treatment provided by SGTS and to identify factors associated with treatment drop-out.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Method:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A cohort of treatment seeking problem gamblers was recruited through SGTS in 2008. Repeated outcome measures included problem gambling screening, gambling related cognitions and urge. Treatment drop-out was defined as participants attending three or less treatment sessions, whilst potential predictors of drop-out included perceived social support, anxiety and sensation-seeking traits.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Of 127 problem gamblers who participated in the study, 69 (54%) were males with a mean age of 43.09 years (SD = 12.65 years) and with 65 (52%) reporting a duration of problem gambling greater than 5 years. Follow up time for 50% of participants was greater than 8.9 months and, overall, 41 (32%) participants were classified as treatment drop-outs. Results indicated significant improvement over time on all outcome measures except alcohol use for both treatment completers and drop-outs, although to a lesser extent for the treatment drop-out group. A significant predictor of treatment drop-out was sensation-seeking traits.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    These results will inform future treatment planning and service delivery, and guide research into problem gambling including aspects of treatment drop-out.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3109\/00048674.2010.493502","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,10,10]],"date-time":"2010-10-10T17:44:19Z","timestamp":1286732659000},"page":"911-920","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":74,"title":["Treatment Outcomes and Predictors of Drop out for Problem Gamblers in South Australia: A Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"44","author":[{"given":"David","family":"Smith","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Margaret Tobin Centre, Flinders Human Behaviour and Health Research Unit, Department of Psychiatry, Flinders University.
