Prevalencia del juego patológico en Galicia mediante el NODS. ¿Descenso de la prevalencia o mejor evaluación del trastorno?
Open accessAbstract
RESUMEN El juego patológico constituye actualmente un importante problema de salud mental que acarrea un gran número de problemas a nivel personal, familiar y social. En el presente estudio se analiza la prevalencia del juego patológico en Galicia, en una muestra representativa de los adultos de 18 o más años (N = 1.624), recogida en 33 municipios, estratificada por hábitat, edad y sexo. Se utilizó para le evaluación del juego patológico, juego problema y juego en riesgo el NODS (NORC DSM-IV Screen for Gambling Problems) de Gernstein et al. (1999). Los 17 ítems del NODS se agrupan en las diez categorías del DSMIV para el diagnóstico de juego patológico (5 o más criterios). Los resultados indican que un 0.92% serían jugadores patológicos a lo largo de su vida, y un 0.31% a lo largo del último año; un 0.18% jugadores problemas a lo largo de toda la vida y 0.25% para el último año, y un 0.31% de jugadores de riesgo a lo largo de toda la vida y 0.25% para el último año. Estos resultados son claramente inferiores a los obtenidos en otros estudios previos en Galicia y en España, pero equivalentes a los norteamericanos de validación del NODS. Se discute la necesidad de adecuarse a los criterios del DSM-IV, y a instrumentos derivados del mismo, en los estudios de prevalencia del juego patológico. Igualmente se presentan datos de otros estudios recientes que permiten explicar los menores niveles de prevalencia actuales que los obtenidos hace unos años. Los criterios más restrictivos del DSM-IV, y los cuestionarios derivados del mismo, permitirían explicar el menor nivel de prevalencia actual, junto a que hoy existe una mayor concienciación social sobre los problemas que acarrean los juegos de azar.

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.
