About this study
Official title: Screening for Excessive Gambling Behaviors on the Internet (EDEIN Study). Study of the Database of French Online Gambling Sites.
The Internet medium is particularly vector for gambling problems. Since the opening of the online gambling sector in France, no screening for excessive gambling behaviours is provided for by the law, although it is known that preventive actions are more effective if they are implemented early in the gambler's career.
The investigators propose to develop a model for screening excessive gambling practices based on the gambling behaviours observed on French gambling websites, coupled to a clinical validation. The objective is to lead to early preventive measures directed towards the more vulnerable gamblers and adapted for each type of gambling.
This study will therefore contribute to setting up an innovative measure of prevention, to inform and protect gamblers as early as possible.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
stage 1Other
The first stage of the project aims at providing a general description of the behaviour of French online gamblers, especially defining a typology of online gamblers.
stage 2Other
The second stage of the project aims at checking that the criteria selected in the first stage lead to a correct prediction whether the gambler is problematic or not. Particularly, this stage aims at determining the best possible score (calculated from gambling data) for defining the gambler's status.
stage 3Other
The third stage of the project aims at clinically validating the screening model. Result from the screening model will be compared to the diagnostic obtained with a clinical interview.
