Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) Total Score

    The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) total score was used as the outcome measure. The Y-BOCS is a clinician-rated scale assessing obsession (5 items) and compulsion (5 items) symptom severity on a 0 to 4 scale. All 10 items are added for the total score, with total scores ranging from 0 to 40, and higher numbers indicating more severe symptoms.

Interventions

Traditional CBTBEHAVIORAL

CBT with EX/RP is a psychosocial treatment that incorporates exposure with ritual prevention.

Traditional CBT

In the CBT stepped-care program, patients are first provided with a less expensive, less intrusive, and more accessible option that resembles quality community care (e.g., self-administered EX/RP combined with counseling to address medication issues, life stress, and motivational enhancement). Patients who fail to respond to this initial treatment progress to a more intensive treatment (e.g., therapist-administered EX/RP).
