- ItemSomente MetadadadosGambling in Brazil Lifetime prevalences and socio-demographic correlates(Elsevier B.V., 2010-11-30) Tavares, Hermano; Carneiro, Elizabeth; Sanches, Marcos; Pinsky, Ilana [UNIFESP]; Caetano, Raul; Zaleski, Marcos; Laranjeira, Ronaldo [UNIFESP]; Natl Council Technol & Sci Dev CNPq; Addict & Other Impulse Control Disorders Unit; Ipsos Reid; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Univ Texas Dallas; Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC); Universidade de São Paulo (USP)Gambling has experienced world-wide growth the current study is the first national survey into household gambling conducted in a developing country the sample was a three-stage probabilistic one designed to cover individuals 14 years old or older of both genders and from all regions of the national territory 325 census sectors were visited including rural areas DSM-IV-based instruments were used to assess problem and pathological gambling individuals were asked to estimate their monthly gambling expenditure the lifetime prevalences were pathological gambling 1 0% and problem gambling 1 3% Maximum gambling expenditure corresponded to 5 4% of the household income for social gamblers 16 9% for problem gamblers and 20 0% for pathological gamblers the male female ratio among adults for pathological gambling was 3 2 1 the data suggest the existence of two subgroups of pathological gamblers one younger (33 9 +/- 4 19) and severe (7 or more DSM-IV criteria) another older (47 8 +/- 6 01) and less severe (5-6 criteria) in a multinomial logistic regression problematic gambling was associated with gender age education employment region of origin and living in metropolitan areas the data suggest that feeling active and socially inserted protects against problematic gambling Individuals who are young male unemployed or not currently pursuing further education may be at special risk for severe pathological gambling (C) 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd All rights reserved
- ItemSomente MetadadadosGambling onset and progression in a sample of at-risk gamblers from the general population(Elsevier B.V., 2014-05-30) Carneiro, Elizabeth; Tavares, Hermano; Sanches, Marcos; Pinsky, Ilana [UNIFESP]; Caetano, Raul; Zaleski, Marcos; Laranjeira, Ronaldo [UNIFESP]; Inst Nacl Ciencia & Tecnol Polit Alcool & Outras; Addict & Other Impulse Control Disorders Unit; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Ipsos Reid; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Univ Texas Dallas; Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)The goal of this study was to investigate gambling-related behavior, onset and progression in a sample of at-risk gamblers from the community. A national household survey was conducted in Brazil, covering individuals 14 years old or older. Subjects were screened for at-risk gambling, those testing positive answered a questionnaire about gambling progression, preferred games and DSM-IV pathological gambling criteria. Out of 3007 respondents, 118 were considered at-risk gamblers according to the Lie/Bet Questionnaire. According to the DSM-IV, 32.7% and 24.9% of those were considered problem and pathological gamblers, respectively. Early at-risk gamblers (onset prior to 20 years of age), were more likely to be male, to prefer non-commercially structured games, and to chase losses while gambling. Young pathological gamblers (under 35 years of age) progressed faster from regular to problem gambling (roughly 2 years) than mature pathological gamblers (12 years). Such findings had not been described before because previous reports focused mostly on clinical samples that lack young, male, early-onset gamblers. Gambling programs have not satisfactorily covered this segment of gamblers. Outreach strategies and early interventions should be provided to prevent these individuals from rapidly evolving into pathological gambling. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
- ItemSomente MetadadadosReliability, Validity and Classification Accuracy of the South Oaks Gambling Screen in a Brazilian Sample(Springer, 2009-12-01) Magalhaes Tavares de Oliveira, Maria Paula; Silveira, Dartiu Xavier da [UNIFESP]; Boas de Carvalho, Simone Villas [UNIFESP]; Collakis, Silvia Teresa [UNIFESP]; Bizeto, Juliana [UNIFESP]; Araujo Silva, Maria Teresa; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability, validity and classification accuracy of the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) in a sample of the Brazilian population. Participants in this study were drawn from three sources: 71 men and women from the general population interviewed at a metropolitan train station; 116 men and women encountered at a bingo venue; and 54 men and women undergoing treatment for gambling. the SOGS and a DSM-IV-based instrument were applied by trained researchers. the internal consistency of the SOGS was 0.75 according to the Cronbach's alpha model, and construct validity was good. A significant difference among groups was demonstrated by ANOVA (F ((2.238)) = 221.3, P < 0.001). the SOGS items and DSM-IV symptoms were highly correlated (r = 0.854, P < 0.01). the SOGS also presented satisfactory psychometric properties: sensitivity (100), specificity (74.7), positive predictive rate (60.7), negative predictive rate (100) and misclassification rate (0.18). However, a cut-off score of eight improved classification accuracy and reduced the rate of false positives: sensitivity (95.4), specificity (89.8), positive predictive rate (78.5), negative predictive rate (98) and misclassification rate (0.09). Thus, the SOGS was found to be reliable and valid in the Brazilian population.
- ItemAcesso aberto (Open Access)Validity Study of the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) among distinct groups of Brazilian gamblers(Associação Brasileira de Psiquiatria - ABP, 2002-10-02) Oliveira, Maria Paula Mt [UNIFESP]; Silva, Maria Teresa Araujo; Silveira, Dartiu Xavier da [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); University of São Paulo Institute of Psychology Department of Experimental PsychologyOBJECTIVE: The main objective of this study was to assess the internal consistency and to perform a factor analysis of the Brazilian version of the SOGS - South Oaks Gambling Screen - scale, as well as its ability to discriminate between different profiles of gamblers. METHOD: Two hundred and seventeen subjects were enrolled in the study: 46 gamblers under treatment at the Gamblers Treatment Unit of PROAD - Program for Orientation and Attention of Dependent Persons- of the Federal University of São Paulo; 96 social gamblers and 75 subjects screened as pathological gamblers recruited at the local Jockey Club, video poker and bingo clubs. RESULTS: Differences in the score means of all three groups were statistically significant and were able to discriminate between social gamblers, pathological gamblers interviewed in a gambling site and the clinical sample. The internal consistency of the 20-item scale measured by Cronbach's alpha was 0.9304. Factor analysis resulted in a three-dimensional solution accounting for 58,6% of the total variance: a first factor composed mainly by questions related to the consequences of gambling; a second factor encompassing questions related to the gambling behavior of pathological gamblers; and a third and less expressive factor involving only two questions, probably a hybrid one of difficult interpretation. CONCLUSIONS: The Brazilian version of the SOGS was a useful screen to discriminate Brazilian pathological gamblers from social gamblers as well as to differentiate clinical pathological from non-clinical pathological gamblers, and to identify different levels of severity.
