title: Implications of a brief intervention trial for problem gambling for future outcome research.
abstract: We describe the development of an empirically supported brief workbook intervention. The implications for the design of future outcome research include the use of media recruitment of participants, the value of a broad conceptual treatment model, the limitations of a waiting list control design, the need for consensus on the measurement of outcome indicators.
