Brief Summary

This is a quality register for the monitoring of clinical assessment and treatment for gambling disorder and gaming disorder in Swedish health care. This register is held by Region Skåne, the health care organization of Skåne in southern Sweden, and administered by Register center South, which is associated with health care services in the southern regions of Sweden (the establishment of quality registers in Swedish health care relies upon a national legislation). Quality registers by themselves do not represent formal research projects. However, future research projects can use quality registers, such as the present one, as a data source for future research projects in case they are approved by an ethics authority. Clinical study variables collected in the register include the following (examples):

• gender, age, occupation, living conditions
• if applicable, types of gambling associated with the treatment needs
• if applicable, type of problematic video gaming
• type of referral to the present treatment contact
• treatment history in psychiatry, social services, enforcement agency
• history of suicidal behavior
• alcohol and drugs problems requiring assessment or treatment
• violence victimization
• type of treatment provided to the patient
