Summary

Phase II of this study will examine the efficacy of the OC-Go application via a randomized controlled trial comparing standard exposure and response prevention (ERP) treatment for pediatric obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) to exposure/response prevention (ERP) augmented with OC-Go. A cross-over design will be implemented for these 12 sessions of treatment, in which participants that were randomized to standard ERP will receive OC-Go augmented ERP for the second half of treatment, and vice versa. Efficacy will be investigated in a sample of 32 children with OCD.

Detailed description

This project seeks to refine and assess OC-Go, a HIPAA-compliant web-based clinician portal and patient-side mobile application designed to increase patient adherence to evidence-based treatment (EBT) for OCD, a common and impairing condition, and provider ability to effectively implement EBTs. OC-Go allows clinicians to create and push tailored assignments to patients on their mobile devices with an optimized user interface that includes patient accountability and support features. Accordingly, patients can be guided to do assignments by themselves between sessions with increased fidelity over the course of treatment. Once therapy assignments are created and shared to a crowd-sourced and curated public library, any clinician can assign any task to any patient for homework or in-session use with one touch. Use of OC-Go is expected to increase patient engagement, compliance, treatment efficiency, dissemination of EBTs, and therapist confidence and expertise.

Conditions

• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	Exposure and Response Prevention	Exposure and response prevention is an evidence-based behavioral treatment that primarily focuses on exposures, in which the child faces OCD-related fears in a methodical manner and acquires more adaptive coping strategies.
BEHAVIORAL	OC-Go	OC-Go is a HIPAA-compliant web-based clinician portal and patient-side mobile application that allows clinicians to create and push tailored treatment assignments to patients on their mobile devices. Individuals receiving this intervention will receive exposure and response prevention with OC-Go.
