Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is used to screen for risk and severity of gambling-related problems in adults. The Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI) is commonly applied in population surveys and clinical or community settings to support risk stratification and referral decisions.
Developed by Robert J. Williams and David C. Hodgins, it consists of 9 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Responses are scored to classify individuals into increasing levels of gambling-related risk, which can inform prevention planning, brief intervention, or further clinical assessment. In practice, the Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI) is best interpreted in context with presenting concerns, functional impairment, and other relevant assessment data.
