Fernández Formoso, José Antonio Fernández Aranda, Fernando Jocs d'atzar Addictes Abús de substàncies Joves Gambling Addicts Substance abuse Youth Objectives: To compare substance use, gambling behaviors and personality traits between two different groups of individuals with a gambling disorder (young and adult patients); to explore the contribution of sex, age and personality traits on substance use; and to evaluate the capacity of age and personality traits to predict substance use. Methods: The participants were 428 gambling disorder (GD) patients, divided into two groups based on age [55 young participants (age≤25 years) and 373 middle- to old-aged participants (age>25 years)]. All were consecutively admitted to a Psychiatry Department and diagnosed according to the DSM-IV criteria. In addition, the Diagnostic Questionnaire for Pathological Gambling according to DSM-IV criteria, the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS), the Temperament and Character Inventory-Revised (TCI-R), and other clinical measures were used to examine gambling behaviors, substance use and personality. Results: When the two age groups were compared, statistically significant differences were observed in several sociodemographic variables. Furthermore, the younger GD patients presented higher rates of drug use (p=.010). Regarding the personality traits, differences were found only in the Novelty Seeking (NS) scale, where the younger patients presented elevated scores (p=.006). Higher scores (p=.022) in NS and lower ones (p=.028) in Self-Transcendence (ST) were the personality traits significantly associated with tobacco consumption (p=.003). However, only age was associated with other substance use (p=.003). 2016-02-05T16:36:17Z 2016-02-05T16:36:17Z 2015-12-30 2016-02-05T16:36:17Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Reproducció del document publicat a: http://drogues-sante-societe.ca/ Drogues, santé et société, 2015, vol. 14, num. 1, p. 79-110 (c) Jiménez-Murcia, Susana et al., 2015 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Drogues, santé et société Articles publicats en revistes (Infermeria de Salut Pública, Salut mental i Maternoinfantil)
