Bouchard (1998) found that 26.9% of the items on the South Oaks Gambling Screen-Revised Adolescent (SOGS-RA) were misunderstood among young people in the second cycle of primary school. The present study continues this research by verifying the understanding of the SOGS-RA items with 126 adolescents from secondary levels III, IV and V. The evaluation of the questionnaire consists of four stages. The SOGS-RA is first administered in class. An individual interview follows where each selected participant explains the meaning of the questions. The misunderstood questions are then explained to him before he answers the questionnaire a second time. The results show that on average, young people have difficulty grasping the meaning of 11.7% of the items. In addition, the second administration of the questionnaire reduces the number of pathological gamblers by 47.1% and the number of potential gamblers by 34.6%. The use of the SOGS-RA as an instrument for identifying pathological gambling among adolescents is addressed during the discussion.
