DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Periodic quantitative and qualitative analysis of scientific research is necessary to take stock of what "is known" and what remains "to be known." Without such reviews, researchers might squander limited resources on duplicative experiments and/or point research in directions not warranted by the existing knowledge base. Recognizing this need, the proposed research will generate a critical analysis and research matrix for treatment outcome research related to several behaviorallv expressed addictions (i.e.. pathological gambling, excessive sexual behavior, compulsive shopping, and compulsive exercise). Behaviorally expressed addictions, such as pathological gambling, are a rapidly growing research and treatment domain. The proposed study will perform this analysis by using well developed meta-analytic search strategies and best practice analysis strategies; this study also will use a comprehensive quantitative measure of strength of evidence. We specifically will organize addiction-related treatment outcome findings according to: type of expression of addiction, type of treatment, strength of evidence, tested treatment settings, and treatment resources. Through this analysis we will be able to identify areas that require more treatment outcome research and assist practitioners who already face the professional challenge of staying up-to-date on current treatment evidence. We intend to prepare a comprehensive technical report, articles for peer-review publication, and a provider treatment reference resource based on this analysis. We will promote the dissemination of these materials on our website. By having easily accessible treatment information and evidence that provides a measure of confidence about the efficacy of addiction treatment practices, health care providers can greatly enhance their clinical confidence and skill.

描述(申请人提供)：对科学研究进行定期的定量和定性分析是必要的，以评估什么是“已知的”，什么是“有待知道的”。如果没有这样的审查，研究人员可能会将有限的资源浪费在重复实验和/或将研究指向现有知识库不能保证的方向上。认识到这一需要，拟议的研究将为与几种行为表现成瘾有关的治疗结果研究产生一个关键的分析和研究矩阵(即，病态赌博、过度性行为、强迫购物和强迫锻炼)。病态赌博等表现为行为表现的成瘾是一个迅速增长的研究和治疗领域。拟议的研究将使用成熟的元分析搜索策略和最佳实践分析策略进行这一分析；本研究还将使用证据强度的综合量化衡量。我们具体将根据成瘾表现类型、治疗类型、证据强度、测试治疗环境和治疗资源来组织与成瘾相关的治疗结果。通过这一分析，我们将能够确定需要更多治疗结果研究的领域，并帮助那些已经面临保持最新治疗证据的专业挑战的从业者。我们打算在此分析的基础上准备一份全面的技术报告、同行评议发表的文章以及提供者治疗参考资源。我们将在我们的网站上促进这些材料的传播。通过拥有容易获得的治疗信息和证据，对成瘾治疗实践的有效性提供一定程度的信心，卫生保健提供者可以极大地增强他们的临床信心和技能。
