Which of the following is not an evidence-based screen for gambling disorder?

• A. Lie/bet
• B. Mast
• C. NODS-Clip
• D. Brief Gambling Screen

Answer: (B)

Evidence-based screens for gambling disorder are brief, validated tools that reliably identify individuals who may have a gambling problem and need further assessment. Among common options, Lie/Bet is a concise two-question screen that asks about lying to cover gambling and needing to gamble with more money to get the same thrill. NODS-Clip is a short version of the DSM-based screen for gambling problems, used to flag potential cases quickly. The Brief Gambling Screen is a compact questionnaire designed to detect problematic gambling in clinical or research settings.

Mast, in contrast, is the Michigan Alcohol Screening Test, developed to screen for alcohol use disorders. It measures issues related to alcohol rather than gambling behaviors, so it is not an evidence-based screen for gambling disorder.
