Abstract Routine outcome monitoring (ROM) is a method devised to systematically collect data on the effectiveness of treatments in everyday clinical practice. ROM involves documenting through repeated assessments. Assistants are employed who perform baseline assessment comprising standardized diagnostic interview, administration rating scales and completion several self‐report measures by patient. At fixed time intervals, assessments repeated. Dedicated Web‐based software has been developed...
Disinhibition and decision-making skills play an important role in theories on the cause outcome of addictive behaviors such as substance use disorders pathological gambling.
