University of Calgary PhD student Nicole Peden is testing an approach that will use one-on-one support to improve the lives of problem gamblers’ loved ones. The study is called Community Reinforcement and Family Training. It will compare findings with a study undertaken in 2001 involving self-help manuals. In the current study, half of the 48 participants will receive a self-help workbook and the other half will work with a therapist.
