Despite a recent proliferation of gambling treatment protocols and studies examining the success of these protocols, there exists an absence of attention to mechanisms of change and the individual characteristics that predict treatment outcome. A better understanding of the characteristics that place particular individuals at-risk for treatment failure will be vital for developing new treatments as well as modifying existing treatments. Furthermore, the development of tools to identify those at risk for treatment failure, prior to treatment initiation, will allow for the tailoring of protocols to suit individual needs and vulnerabilities. In the current paper, we review the state of gambling treatment and suggest a framework for better understanding and ultimately reducing gambling treatment failure.

更好地理解赌博治疗失败：转化研究的意义。

尽管最近赌博治疗方案激增，并且研究检查了这些方案的成功，但仍缺乏对改变机制和预测治疗结果的个体特征的关注。更好地了解使特定个体面临治疗失败风险的特征对于开发新疗法以及修改现有疗法至关重要。此外，开发工具以在治疗开始之前识别有治疗失败风险的人，将允许对协议进行定制以适合个人需求和脆弱性。在当前的论文中，我们回顾了赌博治疗的状态，并提出了一个框架，以更好地理解并最终减少赌博治疗的失败。
