Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Two years ago, a Special Issue on E-health Interventions for Addictive Behaviors was published in the International Journal of Behavioral Medicine. The issue included 16 articles, addressing topics like methodologies for developing e-health interventions, how to engage intervention users and establish a working alliance, and empirical findings from randomized controlled trials and a naturalistic study. The issue began with two articles offering a wide perspective on the field, with a systematic review of reviews on digital interventions for problematic alcohol use, as well as a too for describing e-health interventions as a step towards standardized reporting in order to facilitate communication about the interventions and comparisons between them. This symposium will follow up on the Special Issue by bringing together some of the contributors for presentations of their current work and a discussion on the current state-of-the-art in digital interventions for addictive behaviors. This symposium is sponsored by SBM’s Scientific and Professional Liaison Council (SPLC), in partnership with the International Society of Behavioral Medicine (ISBM).

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and module content of a brief online self-help program for concerned gamblers, i.e., gamblers who perceived a need to change their gambling habits, in the context of a gambling helpline. The program consisted of four modules based on Motivational Interviewing (MI) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), covering motivation to change, logging gambling behaviors, planning and implementing gambling-free activities, and managing risk situations. Gambling expenditures were also logged in the program, and their development over time were analyzed as longitudinal data using marginalized two-part models. Out of 4655 gamblers recruited via the helpline's webpage, 92% completed content in at least one module, and 23% were active in all four modules. Attrition was in general high, with only 10% retention in the gambling log for longer than 14 days. Gambling expenditures decreased for those who logged them for a shorter time period, whereas it increased for those who logged expenditures for a longer time period. This study shows that it is relatively easy to recruit participants to an online program for concerned gamblers in the context of a gambling helpline. However, since few users logged in to the program more than once, we suggest future online programs to have open modules with all content accessible at once.
