Screening for Excessive Gambling Behaviors on the Internet

The first stage of the project aims at providing a general description of the behaviour of French online gamblers, especially defining a typology of online gamblers.

The second stage of the project aims at checking that the criteria selected in the first stage lead to a correct prediction whether the gambler is problematic or not. Particularly, this stage aims at determining the best possible score (calculated from gambling data) for defining the gambler's status.

The third stage of the project aims at clinically validating the screening model. Result from the screening model will be compared to the diagnostic obtained with a clinical interview.
