Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for Gambling Disorder (GD) can be enhanced by technology. A new app helped patients adhere to stimulus control and exposure with response prevention, reducing lapses.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Digital Health
  • Behavioral Science

Background:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is the primary treatment for Gambling Disorder (GD).
  • Key CBT components, stimulus control (SC) and exposure with response prevention (ERP), face compliance challenges.
  • Novel methods are needed to improve patient adherence to SC and ERP in GD treatment.

Observation:

  • This study explored patient experiences with the Symptoms app, a location-based ICT system, during SC and ERP for GD.
  • A consensual qualitative research approach utilized semi-structured interviews based on established scales.
  • Two patients diagnosed with problem gambling and GD participated in the study.

Findings:

  • Patients found the Symptoms app useful for SC and ERP components of GD treatment.
