Evaluation of the Efficacy of the Individually Adjusted Therapy Scale (ATI) on the Addiction Severity

The management of the craving is a key element in addiction treatment as the craving is linked to the probability of relapse. Several cues could induce the craving, some generic substance-induced cues or addictive behavior-related cues (e.g. gambling-related cues), and also some more subject-specific cues. The awareness of the craving intensity and its individual cues for each patient will allow the clinician to tailor a better treatment. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a program based on an Individually Adjusted Therapy scale added to a treatment as usual for the treatment of addiction.

Interaction Between Atypical Work Schedules and/or Idel Time at Work on At-risk Gambling Practices

At-risk gambling causes individual and social harm, influenced by environmental, psychological, and socioeconomic factors. In France, 5% of adult gamblers show at-risk gambling practices. Atypical work schedules and idle time at work could increase this risk, but few studies have explored this. These working conditions impact the mental and cognitive health of workers, potentially contributing to at-risk gambling, especially during periods of idle time The study authors wish to explore the links between atypical work schedules, idle time at work, and at-risk gambling practices, considering social norms and individual vulnerabilities.
