Compulsive and Problem Gambling Annual Report

2014

Dear Members of the General Assembly:

Legalized gambling is one of the fastest growing industries in the United States. For most of the industry’s patrons, gambling is a

form of harmless entertainment; however, it can create devastating consequences for those who become unable to control their

addiction.

The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs is pleased to present the 2014 Compulsive and Problem Gambling Annual Report to

the Governor and the members of the General Assembly on the impact of the programs funded by the Compulsive and Problem

Gambling Treatment Fund. You may also access this document electronically by visiting http://www.ddap.pa.gov/gamblingaddiction

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Gary Tennis

MISSION

The mission of the Compulsive and Problem Gambling Program is to increase public awareness of services available for problem and compulsive

gamblers and their family members, ensure the widespread availability of treatment programs for problem and compulsive gamblers and their

families, and implement problem gambling prevention programs based upon findings throughout Pennsylvania.

COMPULSIVE AND PROBLEM GAMBLING TREATMENT FUND OVERVIEW

The Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (Department) implements a comprehensive, coordinated and effective compulsive and problem

gambling program for the Commonwealth. As stated in Act 2010-01, the sum of $2 million or an amount equal to .002 multiplied by the total gross

terminal revenue of all active and operating licensed gaming entities (whichever is greater), shall be transferred annually into the Compulsive and

Problem Gambling Treatment Fund for the compulsive and problem gambling program.

From these funds, the Department annually distributes 50 percent of the monies to the Single County Authorities (SCA) to be expended solely for

problem gambling needs assessment, prevention programs, outreach, educational programs, and other Department approved services.

Additionally, Act 2010-01 created a requirement to transfer $3 million annually from the State Gaming Fund for treatment. Specifically, the full

amount of these funds are allocated to the SCAs solely for financing drug and alcohol addiction assessments, including drug and alcohol addiction

assessments associated or related to compulsive and problem gambling, as well as for the related addiction treatment in non-hospital residential

detoxification facilities, non-hospital residential rehabilitation facilities and halfway houses licensed by the Department to provide addiction

treatment.

HELPLINE

The Department contracts with the Council on Compulsive Gambling of Pennsylvania (CCGP) to administer the Pennsylvania Gambling Helpline.

Calls can be answered in English, Spanish and more than 60 other languages utilizing the American Telephone and Telegraph (AT&T) language

service. The helpline provides crisis counseling and referral services to problem and compulsive gamblers and their families who may be

experiencing difficulty as a result of problem or compulsive gambling. The helpline employs professionally-trained operators to take calls 24 hours a

day, seven days a week, in a free and confidential manner. The operators collect as much data from each caller as the context of the call allows.

Each call is assessed for the most appropriate referral information, and the caller is given names, phone numbers, descriptors, etc., for the resources

being suggested.

Helpline resources include referrals to Pennsylvania gambling treatment providers and Gamblers Anonymous (GA) and Gam-Anon meetings. The

helpline is also able to provide GA and Gam-Anon meeting information for New Jersey, Ohio, New York, West Virginia and Maryland that may be

helpful and convenient for each caller. These meeting lists are updated no less than quarterly and often on a per change basis, meaning that as soon

as the CCGP becomes aware of a change in meeting schedule(s), an update is sent to the helpline. Pennsylvania gambling treatment providers are

licensed/certified behavioral health care specialists (psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, counselors, etc.).

A small sample of test calls was made by the Department, and on each occasion, our test caller was treated with respect, sensitivity, professionalism

and kindness. Each operator went an extra step or more to be of assistance. All of the test callers were given correct and current referral information

for GA meetings, counseling and types of available services. The Gambling Helpline Information on the following charts (Figure A through Figure

H below) reflects values over a 12-month span (July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014).

PROBLEM GAMBLING CONSORTIUM

The Problem Gambling Consortium was convened in 2006 as a method to work in concert with other state agencies involved in gaming, including

the Pennsylvania Lottery and the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (PGCB). Other agencies have been added to include the Pennsylvania

Behavioral Health and Aging Coalition, Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD) and the Council on Compulsive Gambling of

Pennsylvania (CCGP). The purpose of this consortium is to share information about member organizations as gambling develops across the

Commonwealth, to collaborate on efforts and problems facing the gaming public, and to share resources.

During National Problem Gambling Awareness Month (NPGAM), held annually during the month of March, the Problem Gambling Consortium’s

collaborative efforts included the CCGP conducting training seminars in Pittsburgh and Philadelphia. Also, the PGCB and the Department manned

an informational booth at Strawberry Square in Harrisburg on March 5 and 6, 2014, and the Capitol Mini-Rotunda on March 19 and 20, 2014, to

disseminate informational materials and answer questions.

Additional information is available through the Department’s problem gambling website (www.PaProblemGambling.com). The assortment of

educational information can be accessed by contacting the Department, calling the toll-free Helpline 877-565-2112 or visiting the web site. This site

also includes self-tests, information on how to access help and a list of problem gambling treatment providers.

TRAINING

The Department continues to provide problem gambling training through on-site training events, as well as through the Department’s specialized

training initiative (i.e., addressing a statewide need or new initiative). The Department provides trainings to all interested participants in order to

increase the number of problem gambling treatment providers throughout the Commonwealth. By providing these trainings, the Department hopes to

increase the number of qualified professionals who are eligible to provide problem gambling counseling services. During State Fiscal Year (SFY)

2013- 2014 there were 10 trainings held and 141 people completed problem gambling training courses.

National certification standards require that certified gambling counselors have at least four hours of clinical oversight by a board-approved clinical

consultant. As such, the Department contracted with the Council on Compulsive Gambling of Pennsylvania (CCGP) to provide clinical

oversight. Clinicians participate in a 1 hour clinical oversight call per month. Consultation oversight calls for gambling clinicians, led by a board

approved clinical consultant, have been occurring since June 2010. Sixteen (16) qualified gambling counselors participated in consultation oversight

sessions during SFY 2013/14 and 8 oversight sessions occurred.

9

STATUS OF GAMBLING ADDICTION TREATMENT IN PENNSYLVANIA

Outpatient problem gambling counseling services have been made available within

the Commonwealth since September 2008. Providers who have been approved

under the Department’s Participating Provider Agreement (PPA) have been

receiving reimbursement for these services since that date. As of July 31, 2014, the

Department has PPAs with 96 providers. During SFY 2013-14, there were 166

unique DDAP-funded admissions to compulsive and problem gambling treatment

(Figure 1). The total amount invoiced for services provided in SFY 2013-14 was

$262,670.

The data in this section is based on clients who were admitted to, or discharged

from, our gambling addiction treatment system.

An admission occurs when a client presents to receive gambling addiction treatment

with a provider. Each time a client receives a new type of service or goes to a new

provider, he/she is discharged and a new admission occurs. Therefore, each unique

client can have multiple admissions. Figure 2 displays the percentage of unique

admissions by gender. When a client has completed a particular type of treatment or

changes providers, a discharge record is submitted with an associated discharge

status. Demographic data such as gender (Figure 2), race/ethnicity (Figure 5),

income (Figure 6), employment status (Figure 7) and gambling methods (Figure 8)

are captured for reporting purposes.

13

GAMBLING ADDICTION OUTCOMES

One method in which we use to measure the effectiveness of the gambling disorder treatment program is through the evaluation of performance

measures. Performance measures may indicate a client’s engagement in the treatment process, treatment goals having been met or unmet, and

ultimately, the client’s ability to maintain abstinence or reduce gambling habits during the treatment process. Figure 11 displays the average number

of sessions used by a client. This element indicates whether or not a client is fully engaged and interested in the treatment process. As is evident, over

the past several years, clients have been using more treatment sessions while the achievement of treatment goals has increased. Figure 12 indicates

the change in employment status for the client during treatment. The employment status is captured during admission to treatment and during

discharge from treatment. Figure 12 shows that 17 clients who were discharged from treatment were unemployed upon admission and had a job at

treatment discharge, or worked part-time at admission to treatment and were working full-time at discharge. Figure 13 exemplifies client success with

gambling disorder treatment. Only 11 clients discharged from treatment during SFY 2013-14 did not achieve any goals.

Often times, a client presents for gambling disorder treatment with other problems needing to be addressed. Some of the more common problems

aside of gambling are shown in Figure 14. Clinicians are having success in treating other problems identified by the client, as the majority of clients

achieve or partially achieve treatment goals for other issues. In Figure 14, the purple area within each bar indicates that a particular co-occurring

issue (found along the x-axis) was not applicable to the client. The green area suggests the goals for that particular issue were “not achieved.” The red

area displays the number of clients who “partially achieved” goals pertaining to that issue. The blue area indicates the number of clients who

achieved their goals for the corresponding issue.

PREVENTION

Act 2010-01 created a requirement to transfer dollars in the sum of $2 million or an amount equal to .002 multiplied by the total gross terminal

revenue of all active and operating licensed gaming entities (whichever is greater) into the Compulsive and Problem Gambling Treatment Fund for

the compulsive and problem gambling program.

From these funds, the Department annually distributes 50 percent of the monies to the Single County Authorities (SCA) through the Problem

Gambling Funding Initiative (detailed below) to be expended solely for problem gambling needs assessment, prevention programs, outreach,

educational programs, and other Department approved services.

Forty SCAs submitted proposals (funding initiative) detailing their plans to provide a wide array of problem gambling prevention services for SFY

2013-14. Funds provided to the SCAs were used to develop and implement a comprehensive system of problem gambling resources, prevention

strategies, and programs. These problem gambling prevention services were provided either directly by the SCAs or their contracted provider(s).

Problem gambling prevention activities were provided in a variety of settings to high-risk populations and, when appropriate, communities affected

by risk factors associated with problem gambling. The SCAs utilized the Pennsylvania’s Performance Based Prevention System (PBPS) to plan,

monitor, evaluate and analyze all problem gambling prevention services in order to identify effective prevention programs/services and direct

prevention-related policy and funding.

Thirty-one problem gambling prevention evidence-based programs, evidence-informed programs, and state-approved strategies were provided

throughout the fiscal year. The following are examples of some of the programs and strategies that were implemented.

Evidence-Based Program:

Stacked Deck: A Program To Prevent Problem Gambling is a school-based prevention program that provides information about the myths and

realities of gambling and guidance on making good choices, with the objective of modifying attitudes, beliefs, and ultimately gambling behavior. The

program is designed for students in 9th through 12th grade. Lessons cover the history and realities of gambling, risk factors for and signs of problem

gambling, fallacies about gambling, calculated risk and the assessment of situations involving risk, and barriers to good decision-making and problem

solving. In SFY 2013-14, eight SCAs (Allegheny, Armstrong/Indiana/Clarion, Cambria, Carbon/Monroe/Pike, Crawford, Greene, Lebanon, and

Washington) provided this program, serving a total of 746 individuals.

19

Evidence-Informed Program:

Kids Don't Gamble... Wanna Bet? is an interdisciplinary curriculum for grades 3 through 8, developed by the North American Training Institute. It

is designed to discourage underage gambling through improved critical thinking and problem solving skills. It also includes access to an interactive

online magazine designed by teens for teens. In SFY 2013-14, ten SCAs (Cambria, Cameron/Elk/McKean, Centre, Chester, Delaware, Erie,

Forest/Warren, Huntingdon/Mifflin/Juniata, Lycoming/Clinton, and Philadelphia) provided this service to a total of 8,024 individuals.

State-Approved Strategy:

Gambling Away The Golden Years is an educational kit which explores the possibility of gambling turning from entertainment to addiction,

especially in the retirement years. The program targets the older adult population and has been provided in a variety of settings including community

senior centers. In SFY 2013-14, twelve SCAs (Allegheny, Armstrong/Indiana/Clarion, Berks, Butler, Carbon/Monroe/Pike, Clearfield/Jefferson,

Crawford, Greene, Huntingdon/Mifflin/Juniata, Venango, Washington, and Westmoreland) provided this program serving a total of 1,765

participants.

Student Assistance Program (SAP)

The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is designed to assist school personnel in identifying issues including gambling, use of alcohol, tobacco and

other drugs, and mental health issues, all of which pose barriers to a student’s health and success. The primary goal of SAP is to help students

overcome these barriers. Elements of SAP include 1) the construction of a well-trained SAP core team that meets regularly to discuss students who

have been referred to SAP, 2) incorporation of parents and caregivers into the SAP process through meetings with parents to review student needs

and to discuss potential referrals and intervention plan for the student, 3) a system of school based and community based support services to which

students can be referred for assistance in addressing their needs, and 4) the provision of educational and support group services tailored to the needs

of SAP referred students.

20

In SFY 2013-14, through the problem gambling funding initiative, the SCAs had the option to support the expansion of SAP services beyond what

they had previously provided through other funding sources. During SFY 2013-14, a total of 19 SCAs utilized their problem gambling prevention

funds to support expanded SAP services. These services included SAP consultations, core team meetings, parent/consultant/teacher meetings and

educational groups, as well as core team member training.

CONCLUSION

Problem gambling is, and will continue to be, a compelling public health concern affecting Pennsylvanians of all ages, races and ethnic backgrounds

in communities across the Commonwealth. The societal and economic costs can be significant, but they can be countered by targeted treatment and

prevention aimed at minimizing harm to both the individual and society as a whole. The Department has worked to develop and implement a

comprehensive, coordinated and effective compulsive and problem gambling program. In continuing to serve the Commonwealth, the Department

will continue to work with the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board, the Council on Compulsive Gambling of Pennsylvania, relevant stakeholders

and others who are committed to helping those with a gambling problem.
