Abstract

A recent study conducted at the University of Deusto in Bilbao, Spain, focused on classifying gamblers based on gambling-related characteristics and mental health variables. The research identified three clusters of gamblers: those with high gambling severity and good mental health, high gambling severity and poor mental health, and low gambling severity and good mental health. By understanding these profiles, tailored prevention and intervention strategies can be developed to address the needs of individuals with gambling disorders. The study highlights the importance of considering psychological variables such as emotional dependence, alexithymia, and stressful life events in treating individuals with gambling problems.
