Description
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is relatively common in children and teens, and its impact on daily functioning can be severe. Yet until now, it has been difficult to assess–those who suffer from OCD tend to hide their symptoms; comorbid conditions often obscure its presence, and existing OCD instruments have been limited by inadequate normative and psychometric data. A Self-Report Measure That’s Brief, Easy to Use, and Well Normed. The new Children’s Measure of Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms (CMOCS) assesses and quantifies the subjective experience of children and teens who have obsessions and/or compulsions at either a clinical or subclinical level.
