A framework for reporting outcomes in problem gambling treatment research: the Banff, Alberta Consensus
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The objective is provide a framework concerning the minimum features of reporting efficacy of treatment in the problem gambling field. Research to date has not used uniform outcome measures and it is, therefore, difficult to compare the relative efficacy of various approaches. Some studies emphasize self-reported behavioural measures such as frequency and intensity of gambling whereas others emphasise change with respect to the criteria used to diagnose problem gambling or use composite measures of symptom severity in multiple domains involving gambling-related thoughts, urges, and behaviours. METHODS: An expert panel consensus. RESULTS: The proposed minimum features of reporting the efficacy of treatment outcome studies are: measures of gambling behaviour - the net expenditure each month, the frequency (in days per month) with which gambling takes place, and the time spent thinking about or engaged in the pursuit of gambling each month; measures of the problems caused by gambling - especially problems in the areas of personal health, relationships, financial, and legal; these measures can be complemented by additional measures of quality of life. measures of the processes of change - whatever mechanisms of change are assumed to occur. CONCLUSIONS: We believe that these guidelines are broad enough to allow clinical research conducted from diverse perspectives to allow valid cross study evaluations of intervention studies. Such conditions will facilitate the development of empirically validated best practice guidelines for use by clinicians in the management of problem gambling.

“Given that this range of measures has been a major limitation of the gambling treatment outcome literature, to date, Walker et al. (2005) describe a framework for reporting treatment outcomes, developed by an expert committee.”

In the citing paper
“Specifically, studies were included if: (1) the predictor variables examined related to pre-treatment client characteristics, or treatment or therapist characteristics that were measured at any time-point; (2) consistent with the Banff consensus framework (Walker et al., 2005), they employed validated and/or replicable measures assessing changes in or classifications based on: (a) gambling”

“While the Banff consensus provides such a framework (Walker et al., 2005), this review demonstrated that, since its release in 2005, it has not been well implemented by treatment outcome studies.”

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.
