NODS (NORC DSM Screen for Gambling Problems)

Regulators, programs and instruments

Definition

A 34-item instrument built to mirror DSM-IV criteria, developed for the 1999 national US gambling study. It is the ancestor of the national prevalence figures still quoted today — which is part of why the US denominator problem is so old.
