How does the sibling relationship impact Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?
The purpose of this study is to examine factors associated with the quality of the sibling relationship and how that relationship impacts a child with OCD. We are hoping to discover how the sibling relationship can benefit a child with OCD. We are examining this relationship – via parent-reports – in up to 150 youth with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. To participate, your child must be between 6 and 17 years of age and have OCD. In addition, you must be your child’s parent or legal guardian and the child must have interaction with at least one of their siblings. You will be asked to complete a questionnaire about your children’s behaviors, your child’s symptoms related to OCD, and the relationship between that child and the rest of the family, as well as his/her overall quality of life.
