Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adolescents with OCD who are fluent in Icelandic (and whose parents are fluent in Icelandic or English).
✕Probably not a fit

What this trial studies
This open-label program adapts a pediatric OCD summer treatment model for Icelandic adolescents. It uses an intensive group-based cognitive-behavioral intervention with exposure and response prevention delivered over two weeks, and assesses changes in OCD symptoms, executive functioning, and emotion regulation. The trial also explores how cooccurring neurodevelopmental conditions like ADHD or autism may influence outcomes. Data are collected annually to build a larger dataset and refine the approach within Iceland.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience reduced OCD symptoms and improved functioning through a structured, family-involved treatment delivered in a condensed format.
How similar studies have gone: Prior iterations of similar summer OCD programs have shown promise in reducing symptoms in youth, though this Icelandic adaptation is a newer, data-gathering effort.
