About this study

This is a quality register for the monitoring of clinical assessment and treatment for gambling disorder and gaming disorder in Swedish health care.

This register is held by Region Skåne, the health care organization of Skåne in southern Sweden, and administered by Register center South, which is associated with health care services in the southern regions of Sweden (the establishment of quality registers in Swedish health care relies upon a national legislation). Quality registers by themselves do not represent formal research projects. However, future research projects can use quality registers, such as the present one, as a data source for future research projects in case they are approved by an ethics authority.
