Summary

This study at Johns Hopkins tests whether using personalized mobile health assessments can improve cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for children aged 8-17 with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). 30 participants will receive either standard CBT or CBT guided by their own symptom patterns. The goal is to see if this tailored approach is more effective and acceptable for youth and parents.
