WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Gambling Addiction Questionnaire Test - Symptoms and Signs

addiction gaming addiction

In settings where gambling-related risk is a clinical concern, the Gambling Addiction Questionnaire provides a structured self-report screening of gambling involvement and associated functional impact. It is intended to support timely identification of patterns that may warrant further assessment. The measure is attributed to Robert L. Custer and Mark D. Griffiths.

The instrument includes 50 items and typically requires about 10 minutes to complete. Content focuses on the frequency and consequences of gambling behavior, including interference with work, family responsibilities, social functioning, and financial stability. Results from the Gambling Addiction Questionnaire should be interpreted in the context of clinical interview and other relevant information and are not, by themselves, sufficient for diagnosis.
