Brief Biosocial Gambling Screen

A “yes” to any question below means a person is at risk of developing a gambling problem.

During the past 12 months:


  • Have you become restless, irritable, or anxious when trying to stop/cut down on gambling?
  • Have you tried to keep your family or friends from knowing how much you gambled?
  • Did you have to get help with living expenses from family, friends or welfare as a result of your gambling?
