Brief Summary

Disordered gambling, like substance misuse, has been associated with various medical problems and adverse health outcomes. The Maryland Center of Excellence on Problem Gambling, along with experts in the fields of disordered gambling and behavior change, will work with the Maryland State Department of Health and Mental Hygiene's Behavioral Health Administration to develop a problem gambling-specific Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) intervention targeting individuals receiving medical care in general primary care clinics. The investigators will evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of inserting the problem gambling intervention in to preexisting substance use SBIRT services being provided in clinics in the state. In addition, the investigators will establish a clinic prevalence for gambling and finally, conduct a randomized trial using the problem gambling SBIRT intervention to see if it is effective in helping patients reduce their problematic gambling behaviors.
