Abstract
We studied Chinese psychiatrists’ understanding of gambling addiction, as well as their experiences of and confidence in assessing and treating these patients. To this end, we carried out a postal questionnaire survey of 110 psychiatrists working in China. A majority had seen people with gambling addiction in their practice but only 1 of the 110 psychiatrists had ever received any training in the management of the condition. A large majority of psychiatrists indicated that gambling addiction was an important public health problem and 71.8% said they would like to be more involved in its management. Much more needs to be done to improve the identification and treatment of gambling addiction in China.
