An ultra-brief screening scale for pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder: The OCI-CV-5
Journal of Affective Disorders(2022)
摘要
Background
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is an often disabling and chronic condition that is normally assessed using diagnostic interviews or lengthy self-report questionnaires. This makes routine screening in general health settings impractical, and as a result OCD is often under-(or mis-)recognized. The present study reports on the development of an ultra-brief version of the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Child Version (OCI-CV) which may be administered routinely as a screener for pediatric OCD.
Method
A total of 489 youth diagnosed with OCD, 259 non-clinical controls, and 299 youth with other disorders completed the OCI-CV and other indices of psychopathology. Using item analyses, we extracted five items and examined the measure's factor structure, sensitivity and specificity, and convergent and discriminant validity.
Results
We extracted five items that assess different dimensions of OCD (washing, checking, ordering, obsessing, neutralizing/counting), termed the OCI-CV-5. Results revealed that the measure possesses good to excellent psychometric properties, and a cutoff off (≥2) yielded optimal sensitivity and specificity.
Limitations
Participants were predominantly White. In addition, more research is needed to examine the OCI-CV-5's test-retest reliability and sensitivity to treatment.
Conclusions
The OCI-CV-5 shows promise as an ultra-brief self-report screener for identifying OCD in youth when in-depth assessment is unfeasible.
