DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Periodic quantitative and qualitative analysis of scientific research is necessary to take stock of what "is known" and what remains "to be known." Without such reviews, researchers might squander limited resources on duplicative experiments and/or point research in directions not warranted by the existing knowledge base. Recognizing this need, the proposed research will generate a critical analysis and research matrix for treatment outcome research related to several behaviorallv expressed addictions (i.e.. pathological gambling, excessive sexual behavior, compulsive shopping, and compulsive exercise). Behaviorally expressed addictions, such as pathological gambling, are a rapidly growing research and treatment domain. The proposed study will perform this analysis by using well developed meta-analytic search strategies and best practice analysis strategies; this study also will use a comprehensive quantitative measure of strength of evidence. We specifically will organize addiction-related treatment outcome findings according to: type of expression of addiction, type of treatment, strength of evidence, tested treatment settings, and treatment resources. Through this analysis we will be able to identify areas that require more treatment outcome research and assist practitioners who already face the professional challenge of staying up-to-date on current treatment evidence. We intend to prepare a comprehensive technical report, articles for peer-review publication, and a provider treatment reference resource based on this analysis. We will promote the dissemination of these materials on our website. By having easily accessible treatment information and evidence that provides a measure of confidence about the efficacy of addiction treatment practices, health care providers can greatly enhance their clinical confidence and skill.

描述（由申请人提供）：有必要对科学研究进行定期的定量和定性分析，以评估“已知”和“未知”的内容。如果没有这样的审查，研究人员可能会浪费有限的资源进行重复实验和/或将研究指向现有知识库无法保证的方向。认识到这一需求，拟议的研究将为与几种行为表达成瘾（即病态赌博、过度性行为、强迫性购物和强迫性运动）相关的治疗结果研究生成一个批判性分析和研究矩阵。行为表现的成瘾，例如病态赌博，是一个快速发展的研究和治疗领域。拟议的研究将通过使用完善的元分析搜索策略和最佳实践分析策略来执行此分析；这项研究还将使用证据强度的综合定量测量。我们特别将根据以下因素组织与成瘾相关的治疗结果结果：成瘾的表达类型、治疗类型、证据强度、经过测试的治疗环境和治疗资源。通过这种分析，我们将能够确定需要更多治疗结果研究的领域，并帮助已经面临最新治疗证据的专业挑战的从业者。我们打算根据此分析准备一份全面的技术报告、供同行评审发表的文章以及提供者治疗参考资源。我们将在我们的网站上促进这些材料的传播。通过轻松获取治疗信息和证据，为成瘾治疗实践的有效性提供一定程度的信心，医疗保健提供者可以大大增强他们的临床信心和技能。
