Current Projects
Assessing the Quality and Effectiveness of the California Gambling Education and Treatment Services Program
As part of ongoing quality assurance system monitoring of the California Gambling Education and Treatment Services Program (CalGETS), UGSP participates in the analyses of the design, implementation, and effectiveness of the services offered. The source of quantitative data for this project will be the CalGETS data management system. Data is also being collected from the CalGETS providers regarding their beliefs about treatment, clients, and the recovery process. Funded by the Office of Problem Gambling.
Gambling Disorder Screening at the Riverside San Bernardino Indian Health Clinic
The Office of Problem Gambling (OPG), in partnership with the UCLA Gambling Studies Program (UGSP) and the Riverside San Bernardino Indian Health Centers (RSBIHC), is engaged in a gambling disorder pilot project designed to provide education, screening, and treatment referrals for those with gambling problems in the tribal community. This project is being implemented by RSBIHC with support from UGSP and OPG and includes plans for data sharing as well as an evaluation of the program implementation.
Engaging Latinos in the CalGETS Program Using Promotores
The California Office of Problem Gambling, UCLA Gambling Studies Program, and Visión y Compromiso are conducting a 2-year project in Los Angeles and San Diego Counties to pilot and evaluate a culturally relevant enhancement to the California Gambling Education and Treatment Services (CalGETS) outreach, education, screening, and referral system. This enhancement involves the use of promotores (lay health workers) to increase CalGETS utilization in the Latino community. The project includes an evaluation of program impacts.
