Bradley Hasbro Children's Research Center
Family Processes in Early Childhood OCD
Principal Investigator
Jennifer Freeman, PhD (Pediatric
Anxiety Research Clinic)
Funding Source
Lifespan/Rhode Island Hospital
Description
The goal of this project is to look more closely at the role of
the family in young children (7 to 12 years of age) with obsessive
compulsive disorder (OCD). We assess differences in parent behaviors
and family interactions between young children with OCD and their
parent(s) as compared to a matched control group and their parent(s).
Significance
These study results will help to better understand early childhood
onset OCD, including which types of family interactions enhance
treatment response. We hope that developing a more comprehensive
view of the families of children with OCD will lead to new and more
specific treatments.
