To date, no screening tests for gambling disorders have been adapted and validated in Central and Eastern Europe. The aim of this study is to adapt the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) and Lie/Bet questionnaire (Lie/Bet) and assess their psychometric properties once translated for use with the Polish population. A mixed sample (N = 300) was drawn from venues, social media, snowballing and treatment centers. PGSI had a higher coefficient of predictive power than Lie/Bet. However, differences between validated tests are not significant. Validation of screening tests of gambling disorders showed the necessity for verification of the scale of interpretation of results when conducting tests in Poland, changing cutoff values. The PGSI and Lie/Bet tests are short and easy to apply, they can be implemented in various types of institutions: for screening patients in primary health care facilities and for identifying comorbid gambling disorders in alcohol- and drug-dependence treatment facilities, and in social welfare centers.

迄今为止，中欧和东欧尚未采用和验证赌博障碍筛查测试。本研究的目的是调整问题赌博严重性指数 (PGSI) 和谎言/赌注问卷 (Lie/Bet)，并评估其心理测量特性，一旦翻译用于波兰人口。混合样本 (N = 300) 是从场馆、社交媒体、滚雪球和治疗中心抽取的。 PGSI 的预测能力系数高于 Lie/Bet。然而，经过验证的测试之间的差异并不显着。赌博障碍筛查测试的验证表明，在波兰进行测试时有必要验证结果解释的范围，改变截止值。 PGSI 和谎言/赌注测试简短且易于应用，可在各种类型的机构中实施：用于在初级卫生保健机构中筛查患者，以及在酒精和药物依赖治疗机构中识别共病赌博障碍，以及在社会福利中心。
