What this research studies
This research investigates the effectiveness of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), a behavioral therapy, for veterans suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The study will compare telehealth-delivered ERP to a control group receiving Stress Management Training, aiming to assess improvements in functioning and the feasibility of implementing ERP within the Veterans Health Administration. By utilizing mixed-method economic evaluations, the research will also explore the trade-offs of different treatment strategies for OCD in veterans.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are veterans diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive disorder who have not received adequate treatment.
Not a fit: Patients who do not have obsessive-compulsive disorder or those who have already received effective treatment may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could significantly improve treatment access and outcomes for veterans with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown promising results for telehealth interventions in mental health, suggesting potential success for this approach in treating OCD.
