SANCHEZ ANGEL, Manuel Alejandro; RODRIGUEZ CELY, Leonardo Alberto; PERILLA GAMBOA, Paola Andrea  e  GOMEZ MUNOZ, Natalia. The Validity of the SOGS Pathological Gambling Survey’s Content in the Colombian Forensic Field. Rev. Crim. [online]. 2020, vol.62, n.2, pp.303-324.  Epub 27-Nov-2020. ISSN 1794-3108.

Traditionally, "play" has been distinguished as a hobby within "gambling". Gambling has facilitated the appearance of problematic conducts, such as pathological gambling, also known as compulsive gambling. In Colombia, Law 1554/2020, in article 7, paragraph 1, mentions the importance of defining attention and assessment guides and protocols for compulsive gambling. However, there are few studies in the Colombian context that assess and attend to this issue. This study's objective was to establish the validity of the South Oaks Gambling Screen (SOGS) instrument's content, which is widely used in the field of forensic psychology.

The methodology first consisted of a stage adapting to and adjusting the instruments and then a stage of expert judgment through the Delphi method. The study's main results includes: adapting the survey's diagnostic criteria from DSM-III-R to DSM-5, adapting it to Colombian Spanish, which ensures better understanding of the survey and incorporating aspects related to online gambling and betting. This study's product comprises an instrument that may be used in legal and forensic fields through the standard of proof in article 226 of the General Procedural Code.
