Abstract
We taught problem gamblers mental contrasting with implementation intentions (MCII) as a self-regulation strategy they can self-apply to reduce their gambling. MCII (vs. information control) reduced gambling behavior and symptoms up to 12 months after intervention, particularly in those with severe gambling problems and those who habitually drink while gambling.
