      Rates of online (or internet) gambling are growing faster than any other gambling form, which has research and clinical implications. Currently, the lack of a questionnaire for measuring online gambling in adults is hampering our ability to understand this phenomenon. The current study examined whether the Online Gambling Disorder Questionnaire (OGD-Q), developed for studying online gambling in adolescents, is suitable for use with adults. Specifically, we evaluated support for its original one-factor model, its model-based reliability, external validity, and measurement invariance (configural, metric, scalar, and residual) for the theorized one-factor model. A community sample of 968adults (18 to 64 years) completed the original OGD-Q. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) supported the theorized one-factor model. Additionally, there was support for the reliability (omega coefficient) and external validity (expected relations with internet gaming disorder, internet disorder, depression, anxiety, and stress) of the OGD-Q. Multiple-group CFA supported full measurement invariance across men and women, and emerging adult and older adult groups. The findings provided some psychometric support for the use of the original OGD-Q in adults. The psychometric and practical implications of the findings are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
