Eight-Item Gambling Questionnaire (EIGHT) Test - Symptoms and Signs
This brief screening measure is used to identify possible gambling-related problems in clinical or community settings. The Eight-Item Gambling Questionnaire (EIGHT) consists of 8 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. It is intended to support initial risk identification and to guide decisions about whether more comprehensive assessment is warranted.
Items query common behavioral and emotional correlates of gambling involvement, with responses summarized to indicate the likelihood of problematic gambling. The Eight-Item Gambling Questionnaire (EIGHT), originally described by Rachel A. Volberg, is not designed to provide a standalone diagnosis and should be interpreted in the context of clinical interview, collateral information when available, and other relevant assessment data.
