Clinical Best Practices in Gambling Disorder Treatment: Integrating Research and Clinical Practice
When we hear the term “evidence based” practices, most of the time we assume that the evidence being discussed is research based evidence, with the “gold standard” being randomized, controlled studies. While this type of evidence is extremely important, we often neglect to consider evidence based on clinical experience and realities. This workshop will explore how research based evidence can best inform “real world” clinical practice and provide best practice standards, using case examples.
Additionally, how other areas of research such as neurobiology of gambling disorder should inform best clinical practices will be discussed.
