26 Predicting success at post treatment Satisfaction at work QOLI Out of seven predictors three could predict success: Satisfaction at work Alcohol use Dissociation Strongest, in combination, is: Alcohol (>2 ) use and dissociation (never, very occasionally, less the 50 % and sometimes) Gambling debts Network Income Alcohol consumption Motivation Dissociation Questionnaire Questionnaire Questionnaire AUDIT RFCQ Jacobs

27 Predicting success after 36 months Satisfaction at work QOLI Only one variable, out of seven, could significant predict a successful result having gambling debts. That factor doubled the chance for success. Gambling debts Network Income Alcohol consumption Motivation Dissociation Questionnaire Questionnaire Questionnaire AUDIT RFCQ Jacobs

28 Predicting drop out Drop out was defined as not doing all modules. 284 started treatment, 138 completed all modules. Dissociation - always High on anxiety Playing poker or VLT Low or no income Very bad working condition Contemplation

29 What's next? Self help books can be bought in book stores and online. PDF files can be down loaded from Internet. But they are not very smart. Our next step is to build an interactive self help program online using the knowledge, experience and research we done so far. This is how we think and are currently working on.
