Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) serves as the primary classification system for mental health disorders, providing standardized diagnostic criteria for clinicians and researchers. First published by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) in 1952, the DSM has undergone several revisions to reflect evolving psychiatric understanding. The fifth edition, DSM-5, released in 2013, introduced key updates that expanded diagnostic categories and modified diagnostic...

Genetic Screens

Genetic Screens

Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which result in visible changes...

Area of Science:

Psychiatry
Clinical Psychology
Public Health

Background:

Pathological gambling frequently co-occurs with substance use disorders and other psychiatric conditions.
Despite high comorbidity, healthcare providers infrequently screen for gambling problems.
Accurate identification of gambling issues is crucial for individuals with co-occurring disorders.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the performance of the NODS-CLiP, a brief, three-item screen for problem and pathological gambling.
To introduce and assess an alternative four-item screen for gambling problems.
To determine the sensitivity, predictive power, and demographic invariance of these screening tools.

Main Methods:

The study assessed the performance of an existing three-item screen (NODS-CLiP) for problem gambling.
An alternative four-item screening tool was developed and evaluated.
Key performance metrics including sensitivity, positive predictive power, negative predictive power, and demographic invariance were analyzed.

Main Results:

The alternative four-item screen demonstrated improved sensitivity compared to the NODS-CLiP.
Both screens showed good positive and negative predictive power.
The alternative screen exhibited invariance across key demographic groups, suggesting broad applicability.

Conclusions:

Brief screening tools are valuable for identifying gambling problems in clinical settings.
The alternative four-item screen offers enhanced accuracy and reliability for detecting gambling issues.
Routine screening for gambling problems is recommended, particularly for individuals with co-occurring substance use disorders.
