Results Overview

A clinician-rated measure of obsessive-compulsive disorder severity. Each item is scored on a 0 to 4 range. Total scores are obtained by summing items 1-10 and thus range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity. Results posted below are from the post-treatment evaluation (after 10 treatment sessions).
