Intervention client data

The intervention client data represents the number of clients who have received problem gambling treatment services and who have identified to the service provider a primary problem gambling mode causing them harm.

The data available represents a snapshot at a point in time. The reported statistics are subject to slight variation as the Ministry updates client data elements in accordance with the data collection and submission rules required of treatment service providers.
