Purpose: Researchers at Suffolk University, Harvard Medical School, and the New England Center for OCD and Anxiety, Boston want to learn more about how exposure therapy works for teens with OCD by learning about different experiences in therapy for teens with OCD and how thinking effects behavior.

 

Who: We are seeking teens 13-17 years old who are currently, or who have previously, been in exposure therapy for OCD. If you’re not sure if you have tried exposure therapy, ask our study team! Permission from your parent is required to do this study.

 

What you will do: Complete a game and answer survey questions about your OCD and treatment you have tried online, which will take you about 35 minutes. Your parent can also participate by answering survey questions online.

 

Why: You may help researchers learn information about important ways that treatment could be changed so that it works for more teens with OCD.

 

You will receive: A self-help book for teens with OCD and a $10 Visa gift card!
