Results

With data from 274 participants (GAMCHECK: n = 141; AO: n = 133), we demonstrated that GAMCHECK was more effective solely on GRCS than AO at both one-week and four-week follow-up. Furthermore, by the 12-week follow-up, GAMCHECK significantly more effective than AO on gambling symptoms measured by the GSAS, number of gambling days and amount of money spent on gambling during the prior week, GRCS, and PGI-C at 12-week follow-up. No significant effects were found for help-seeking behaviors.

Baseline Characteristics

Of the 274 participants, 54.46% (n = 141, mean age = 45.50 years, SD = 9.66) and 48.54% (n = 133, mean age = 45.33 years, SD = 9.61) were assigned to GAMCHECK and AO groups, respectively. Of the 141 participants allocated to the GAMCHECK group, 13 were non-responsive at the 12-week follow-up, as were 10 of the 133 participants in the AO group. Participants were recruited from online survey panels owned by a survey company in Japan (Cross Marketing, Inc.) between November 11 and 15, 2020.

Participant flow

In total, 274 participants (male = 228, female = 45, other = 1, mean age = 45.42 years, SD = 9.62) were recruited for this online study. Of the 1,681 individuals who indicated on the screening questionnaire that they would like to participate in this study, 927 met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 620 were randomly selected to receive an e-mail requesting participation, 274 of which responded to the e-mail and thus participated in this study.

Adverse events

In this study, potential harms were evaluated exclusively through measurements, with no other methods employed.

Outcome measures

there was a significant interaction between group and time for the number of days participants gambled during the prior week (t (717.1831) = 2.125, p < .05) and for the amount of money they had spent on gambling at 12-week follow-up (t (710.31638) = 2.188, p < .05).
