AI Summary

A recent study conducted by researchers at McGill University and the Douglas Research Center has shed light on the underutilization of specialized gambling addiction treatment services in Quebec. The study, which followed over 2,300 individuals with a gambling disorder for 13 years, found that despite having free access to these services, patients averaged fewer than two treatment sessions per year. This suggests that many people struggling with gambling addiction are not taking advantage of the available resources. The findings highlight a need to improve access and outreach to individuals with a gambling disorder, potentially through more targeted and accessible treatment options.
