Pathological Gambling Craving Severity Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs
This measure is designed to quantify the severity of craving related to gambling behavior and to support clinical monitoring over time. The Pathological Gambling Craving Severity Scale provides a brief, structured self-report of core craving features relevant to assessment and treatment planning. It was developed by Jon E. Grant.
The instrument consists of 10 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. The Pathological Gambling Craving Severity Scale may be used to document baseline symptom intensity, track change across visits, and complement broader diagnostic and functional evaluations in settings where gambling-related concerns are being addressed.
