The broad expansion of gambling across North America during the last two decades has generated concern about the extent of gambling and problem gambling in youth, and the need to more accurately monitor it. The South Oaks Gambling Screen-Revised for Adolescents (SOGS-RA) is a promising instrument for screening problem gambling (K. C. Winters, et al., 1993) that requires more evaluation. Psychometric analysis of the instrument was conducted in 1,000 males and females aged 12-17 yrs. The analyses extended previous focus by including females, young adolescents, and all evaluation of youth classified as "at-risk." Consistent with preliminary findings obtained during scale development, the distribution of item endorsement revealed trends of over-endorsement for some items (e.g., gambled more than intended, felt bad about the amount bet), and under-endorsement for others (e.g., criticized or told you had a gambling problem). These results suggest consideration of some form of weighting procedure, item deletion or re-wording. A factor analysis of the SOGS-RA items suggested a 2-factor solution, with one factor interpreted as Control over Gambling and the other Gambling Consequences. The 2 factors may represent early versus more severe levels of gambling problems, respectively. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
