Summary

This study tested whether a stepped-care internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) works as well as group therapy or standard medication for adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). 46 adults in China received one of the three treatments for 6 weeks. The goal was to see if the online approach is effective and more cost-efficient. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
