A recent report from the UK-based charity GambleAware has found that the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) is an effective tool for assessing gambling-related harms. The PGSI is a nine-item scale used to measure the severity of gambling problems and is based on the Canadian Problem Gambling Index (CPGI).

The report, which was published in the journal Addiction, found that the PGSI was able to accurately identify individuals who were at risk of experiencing gambling-related harms. The study included a sample of over 1,500 participants who completed the PGSI and were then followed-up with a six-month follow-up survey.

The results of the study showed that the PGSI was able to accurately identify individuals who were at risk of experiencing gambling-related harms. The study also found that the PGSI was able to accurately identify individuals who were at risk of developing more severe gambling problems over time.

The findings of the study suggest that the PGSI is a reliable and valid tool for assessing gambling-related harms. The results of the study also suggest that the PGSI may be a useful tool for clinicians and researchers looking to assess gambling-related harms.

The findings of the study are important as they suggest that the PGSI is an effective tool for assessing gambling-related harms. This is particularly important given the increasing prevalence of gambling-related harms in many countries around the world. The findings of this study suggest that the PGSI may be an effective tool for identifying individuals at risk of experiencing gambling-related harms and for monitoring their progress over time.

Overall, the findings of this study suggest that the PGSI is an effective tool for assessing gambling-related harms. This is an important finding as it suggests that the PGSI may be a useful tool for clinicians and researchers looking to assess gambling-related harms.
