国家意见研究中心DSM赌博问题筛查(NODS)是一种基于人口的电话筛查工具,根据DSM-IV标准识别赌博问题,作为赌博治疗研究的潜在结果指标进行了检查。NODS被用于问题赌徒,作为短暂治疗后1年随访的一部分。内部可靠性是公平的,良好的因素结构和项目总的相关性支持存在一个单一的结构与三个子因素,测量消极的行为后果,专注和受损的控制赌博和宽容,退出和救济赌博。NODS总分与赌博行为和结果中度相关。总得分也与南橡树赌博屏幕(SOGS)的总得分高度相关,虽然NODS和SOGS分类nonproblern,问题,病理赌徒表现出较差的协议。按照设计,NODS对无序赌博提供了比SOGS更严格的定义。总之,NODS显示出作为赌博问题的结果测量的希望。(C)2004爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
The National Opinion Research Center DSM Screen for Gambling Problems (NODS), a population-based telephone-screening tool to identify gambling problems according to DSM-IV criteria, was examined as a potential outcome measure for gambling treatment studies. The NODS was administered to problem gamblers as part of a 1-year follow-up after a brief treatment. Internal reliability was fair to good and the factor structure and item-total correlations supported the existence of a single construct with three subfactors, measuring negative behavioral consequences, preoccupation and impaired control over gambling and tolerance, and withdrawal and relief gambling. The NODS total score correlated moderately with gambling behavior and outcome as predicted. The total score also correlated highly with the total score of the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) although the NODS and SOGS categorization of nonproblern, problem, and pathological gamblers showed poor agreement. The NODS, as designed, provided a more strict definition of disordered gambling than the SOGS. In summary, the NODS shows promise as an outcome measure of gambling problems. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
