The main purpose of this randomised clinical trial is to test the efficacy of a prevention program for adult who are at risk of developing OCD, thus constituting a form of tertiary prevention.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

After being informed about the study and giving written informed consent, all eligible participants will be randomised into the experimental group or the control group (TAU). Participants will be blind to the group allocation.

The experimental group will undergo a two weeks OCD prevention program, consisting of three group sessions per week.

The control group will not receive any intervention.

Researchers will compare the experimental group to the control group to test wether the prevention programme is efficient in reducing OCD symptomatology.
