The current study examines the udnerstanding of the DSM-IV-MR-J items to assess pathological gambling among adoelscents aged 12 to 15, and explores to accurancy. The DSM-IV-MR-J was first adminsitered int he classroom. Participants in the first groups were asked to explain the meaning of each DSM-IV-MR-J item during an individual interview. If the item was not properly understood, the investigator corrected the participant's understanding of the item. The questionnaire was then adminsitered a second time. The control group was only submitted to a test - retest procedure. The results showed that 22% of the items were misunderstood. Changes in diagnostic categories emerged on the second administration for both groups. A 20% and 29,4% decrease in the number of problem / pathological gamblers was observed in the experimental and control group. The implications of these results are discussed in terms of the reliability of the DSM-IV-MR-J as a measure of problem gambling among adolescents.
