Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate if therapist-guided internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) in a stepped-care approach is an effective and cost-effective treatment in reducing OCD symptoms for children and adolescents compared to gold standard treatment (face-to-face CBT).

Conditions

  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT)

Participants will receive internet-delivered CBT with therapist support for 16 weeks. The treatment consists of 14 online chapters with interactive features as videos and illustrations. The treatment has the main focus on exposure with ritual prevention. The children and parents have regular contact with a personal assigned therapist via written text messages in the platform. Participants that are classified as non-responders at 3 months follow-up will receive face-to-face CBT of up to 12 sessions over 12 weeks.

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)

The treatment is based on current evidence based recommendations for OCD, and focuses on exposure with ritual prevention. Participants that are classified as non-responders at 3 months follow-up will receive additional face-to-face CBT of up to 12 sessions over 12 weeks.
