About this study
This research study aims to adapt and evaluate the acceptability and effectiveness of Project EMPOWER-OCD for socioeconomically diverse caregivers of patients with OCD. Designed to reduce obstacles (e.g. months long time commitment, high cost, transportation) to treatment that caregivers may be particularly prone to, project EMPOWER-OCD will provide targeted intervention of accommodation - a well-established, potentially modifiable risk factor for child anxiety, OCD, and its related disorders - in a single, self-guided session via an online format.
