While several gambling screens have been shown to be valid and reliable among different populations, the growth of gambling-related harms among emerging adults (18-24) presents a new challenge. Through research on this population, it was shown that emerging adults may experience gambling risk and harms different than other populations. Through continued research, we have developed a new emerging adult gambling screen specifically relevant to the experiences of this population in order to better screen for those who may need further assessment and possible treatment. This presentation lays out the new screen, its development, purposeful testing, and potential use.
