5. Iowa
Gambling
NIATx
• Nine
programs
providing
gambling
and
substance
abuse
services
• Eight
of
the
nine
programs
had
substance

experience
• Helpline
6. Important
Iowa
NIATx
ConsideraTons
• Aims
and
Change
Cycles
determined
by
individual
programs
• Keep
It
Simple:
Keep
required
program
paperwork,
state
meeTngs
to
a
minimum
• Keep
it
helpful
–
coaching
calls
• Waivers
to
simplify
processes
• Programs
may
use
a
combined
SA/gambling
change
team
7. Important
Iowa
NIATx
ConsideraTons
Importance
of
Sharing
Data
and
CompeTTon.
• Early
in
2009
we
shared
only
state-‐wide
data
and
the
program’s
own
data
with
each
program
• In
October
2009
we
requested
and
received
permission
from
each
program
to
share
data
with
other
programs
• Following
this
there
was
a
surge
in
Change
Projects
from
programs
8. Key
Focus
of
Iowa
NIATx
2009
• Increasing
admissions
different
than
substance
abuse
treatment
program
• Many
crisis
calls
do
not
convert
to
a
screening
or
admission.
• Gambling
treatment
resources
in
Iowa
underuTlized
• ConTnuaTon
through
early
treatment
9. Program
Barriers
• Too
much
paperwork
up
front
• Ofen
seemed
to
be
more
important
to
complete
paperwork
than
listen
to
client
• Most
programs
were
doing
three
disTnct
gambling
screens
with
each
client
despite
.
being
required
to
only
do
one.
10. Helpline
Barriers
IniTal
Issues
• Phone
not
answered
• Calls
not
transferred
to
programs,
gave
program
phone
numbers
only
• Some
programs
had
gambling
counselor
on
call,
others
used
residenTal
technicians,
someTmes
voice
mail
only
• Inconsistent
role
of
Helpline
11. State
Approach
to
Programs
• Different
roles
of
coach
and
state
employees
• Programs
may
ask
for
waiver
for
NIATx
projects
• Programs
may
use
combined
SA/Gambling
change
team
• No
paperwork
required
for
this
project
• Used
exisTng
state
data
programs
only
had
to
collect
minimal
data
• Emphasized
that
it
would
be
simple
• No
required
meeTngs-‐-‐maybe
learning
session
at
the
end
• Minimal
funding
to
parTcipate
-‐
$5,000/program
