Summary

This study reviews the medical records of 1,200 people who sought treatment for gambling disorder in Sweden over 10 years. Researchers will track changes in gambling habits, physical and mental health conditions, and use of healthcare services. The goal is to better understand the long-term challenges these patients face and how they use care.

What this could lead to

What could go wrong
