Feasibility and Efficacy of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Patients With ADHD/Behavioral Addiction Comorbidity

The main objective of this pilot study is to assess preliminary data on the feasibility of CBT and its evaluation in a randomised trial in patients with co-occurring ADHD and behavioural addiction: Evaluation and comparison of the 12-week retention rate of patients randomised to CBT compared with patients in the 'treatment as usual' control arm. In order to meet the objective, the patient will take part in a standardized assessment, followed by a therapeutic intervention and a new standardized assessment after the intervention. The standardized assessment consists as follows : * firstly, 7 self-questionnaires to be completed by the patient, lasting around 45 min, aimed at assessing his or her socio-demographic data; current symptoms, quality of life and functional impact related to ADHD; impulsivity, emotion regulation and assessment of possible anxiety-depressive disorders. * Then the patient will follow the 10 session of cognitivo behavioural psychotherapy. * At 12-weeks post-inclusion, an assessment visit is carried out during which a battery of tests will be administered. This is followed by a research interview with a professional, aimed at gathering his or her experiences.

Theory-based Intervention for Promoting Responsible Gambling Among College Students

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if the RESPONSIBLEPLAY© intervention helps promote responsible gambling behaviors in University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) students aged 21 and older who have a Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) score of 3 or higher. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the intervention reduce harmful gambling behaviors? Does the intervention increase responsible gambling practices? Researchers will compare participants receiving the RESPONSIBLEPLAY© intervention with those receiving a knowledge-based intervention to see if the RESPONSIBLEPLAY© intervention is more effective. Participants will: Attend three face-to-face sessions on responsible gambling over three weeks. Complete surveys before, after, and eight weeks after the intervention to track their progress.
