Feb 06, 2008 An informal gambling intervention can get the results your begging and pleading very likely cannot. An intervention, done right, can show how much you care as it also shows how much harm the gambling has done, and since you’ll give concrete examples of such harms it will be very hard for your loved one to deny the existence of a problem.
Abstract
The EIGHT Screen is a brief problem gambling screen originally designed for use by family doctors. Its wider use indicated the need for further validation. A triangulated approach used a range of measures in different settings in both the current study and findings from a number of earlier projects, and reviewed current use. The EIGHT Screen had acceptable correlations with the SOGS (r = 74–90%) and with the NODS-12 months Screen (r = 62.4%). Measurements remained relatively constant amongst a range of cultures, settings, age and gender, while few false positives were produced by the screen. The EIGHT Screen appears to be a valid tool for untrained users to identify Level 2 and 3 problem gambling in a wide range of cultures and settings.
