“…These tools screened for both substance use and gambling in either a treatment setting (Christo et al, 2003 ; and Denis et al, 2016 ) or in the general population (MacLaren & Best, 2010 ; and Schluter et al, 2018 ). The remaining 4 tools screened for risk factors across a diverse range of health concerns including substance use and gambling in a primary health setting (Goodyear-Smith et al, 2004 , 2009 , 2013 , 2021 ; and Elley et al,. 2014 ) or for underlying behavioral traits in the general population (Chamberlain & Grant, 2018 ; Guo et al, 2017 ; and Rockloff and Dyer, 2006 ).…”

There is a high prevalence of gambling harms co-occurring with substance use harms. Where harms are co-occurring, they may be experienced as more severe. However, there is little evidence that services are systematically screening for such co-occurring harms in treatment-seeking populations. Furthermore, treatment modalities remain relatively under-developed, with treatment usually addressing only one source of harm.This scoping review looks at the current literature on screening and therapeutic interventions for co-occurring gambling and substance use harms to understand how co-occurring harms may be managed in a treatment setting. It draws together available data on the intersections of substance use harms and gambling related harms, in a treatment context.This research identifies a range of potentially useful validated tools for clinicians in substance use treatment settings to screen for gambling harms. For workers in gambling treatment settings who are seeking validated tools to screen for co-occurring substance use harms, the literature provides less guidance.The validated toolbox of therapeutic interventions for those experiencing co-occurring substance use and gambling harms is relatively sparse. Psychosocial interventions appear to offer the best outcomes on gambling measures for those experiencing co-occurring substance use harms. Further research is needed to establish the benefits of different combinations of treatment and treatment types in achieving reductions across both substance use and gambling harms, when these harms are experienced concurrently.
