Gender differences in the associations between past-year gambling problems and psychiatric disorders
Open accessAbstract
Background Psychiatric disorders frequently co-occur with pathological gambling. The extent to which co-occurence extends to subsyndromal levels of gambling or differs between women and men is incompletely understood.Aim To examine whether the association between psychiatric disorders and past-year gambling problems is stronger in women than men.Methods Data from the national epidemiological survey of alcoholism and related disorders (NESARC) (n = 43,093) were analyzed.Results Increasing severity of past-year gambling problems was associated with increasing odds of most past-year Axis I and lifetime Axis II disorders, regardless of gender. Associations between gambling problems and major depression, dysthymia, panic disorder, and nicotine dependence were statistically stronger in women than in men.Conclusions A severity-related association exists between past-year gambling problems and psychiatric disorders. The stronger associations in women suggest that gambling research, prevention and treatment efforts consider gender differences.

“Mirroring the increased prevalence of anxiety disorders amongst women in the general population (GD: M = 1.26%; F = 2.79%), females with gambling disorder report disproportionately higher rates of anxiety disorders than males (GD/PG: M = 3.94%; F = 14.53%) (Desai & Potenza, 2008; Kessler et al., 1994).”

“For example, individuals with alcohol or nicotine related substance use disorders often present with more severe gambling behaviors and involvement (Desai & Potenza, 2008; el-Guebaly et al., 2006; J. E. Grant & Potenza, 2005; Ladd & Petry, 2003; Petry & Oncken, 2002).”

In the citing paper
“Building upon these findings, a “dose-dependent” relationship has been cited between anxiety, substance use, and gambling disorders, whereby the severity of the anxiety symptomatology is positively associated with that of the substance use or gambling disorder (Desai & Potenza, 2008; Giddens, Stefanovics, Pilver, Desai, & Potenza, 2012).”

“These analyses also found that comorbidity between lifetime pathological gambling and several psychiatric disorders, most notably major depression, generalized anxiety disorder, and several substance use disorders, was stronger in women than in men [20].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
