Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) but there is a lack of properly trained CBT therapists. One possible treatment alternative is Internet-based CBT (ICBT) with minimal therapist input. The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate ICBT for OCD.
