Test of a method to reduce the urge to gamble in a population of problem gamblers in treatment.
Zusammenfassung der Studie
Ten patients in treatment for a gambling addiction will be recruited. This study will primarily take place on smartphones and requires internet access. To understand their urge to gamble, we will ask them to respond to various questionnaires related to gambling every day for 1 week. Then, in the following week, they will learn and use a technique called "interference" and will also respond to the questionnaires daily. Three months after this phase, we will again ask participants to respond to the same questionnaires to verify that the effect of the intervention has been maintained for another week. During these 3 months between the last 2 phases, the intervention remains accessible.

Untersuchte Intervention
Interference is a method based on the principle that any urge or desire requires cognitive resources such as attention and the resources used to mentally visualize (images, sounds, tastes, etc.). To successfully suppress this urge or desire, these resources must be shifted to another task that will monopolize these resources. Here are some examples of interference methods: playing Tetris, making shapes with modeling clay, or mentally imagining scenes. It is therefore a voluntary distraction to suppress the urge, and in this study, the desire to gamble.
