A self-report measure that’s brief, easy to use, and well normed.
Now there’s a new option for evaluating OCD, a brief, easy-to-administer, self-report inventory that offers both detailed and summary scores, all referenced to a large, representative norm sample. The new Children’s Measure of Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms (CMOCS) assesses and quantifies the subjective experience of children and teens who have obsessions and/or compulsions at either a clinical or subclinical level.
The CMOCS is composed of 56 items covering six Problem Areas:
-
Fear of Contamination
-
Rituals
-
Intrusive Thoughts
-
Checking
-
Fear of Mistakes and Harm
-
Picking/Slowing
These scales address obsessions and compulsions and their impact on daily functioning. In addition, two validity scales alert you to inconsistent responding or defensiveness on the examinee’s part. Norms: Based on a US nationally representative sample of 1,644 children and adolescents.
