Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Pathological gambling poses a significant public health concern.
  • Understanding its prevalence and associated factors is crucial for effective intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To estimate the prevalence of pathological gambling in Germany.
  • To investigate comorbid substance use, mental disorders, risk/protective factors, and treatment utilization.
  • To describe the methodological framework of the PAGE program.

Main Methods:

  • A large-scale study (n=15,023) using random digit dialing (landline and mobile) for general population sampling (ages 14-64).
  • Inclusion of high-risk populations through targeted outreach.
  • A two-step assessment: initial diagnostic interview (CID-G) followed by an in-depth clinical interview for identified cases (n=594).

Main Results:

  • The PAGE program established a comprehensive epidemiological database on pathological gambling.
  • Basic prevalence data was collected, with detailed information on a subsample of individuals with gambling problems.
  • The study methodology is described, enabling future research.

Conclusions:

  • The PAGE program provides a robust dataset for understanding pathological gambling in Germany.
  • The findings support the public health relevance of gambling disorders.
  • The available scientific use file facilitates further epidemiological and clinical research.
