Fix Referral Gaps: Qualitative Analysis of Gambling Pathways
Fast payoff: This systematic review (published 19 June 2026) maps structural gaps in referral and treatment pathways for gambling-related harm using the Antecedents–Decision–Outcomes (ADO) framework. From 8, 178 initial records (5, 230 screened) the authors included 39 peer-reviewed studies spanning 2014–2024 and a bibliometric set of 252 abstracts. Key findings: referral links from gambling platforms to formal healthcare are rare, screening is inconsistent, and responsibility framing often shifts burden onto individuals. If your team analyzes transcripts, platform text, or helpline logs, AI-enabled qualitative analysis accelerates theme extraction, cross-segment comparison, and referral-tracking insights.
