A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a two-week prevention program designed for adults who are at risk of developing Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Participants will be randomly assigned to either the experimental group, which will receive the prevention program consisting of three group sessions per week, or the control group, which will receive treatment as usual (TAU). The study will assess whether the prevention program can significantly reduce OCD symptoms compared to the control group. All participants will be blinded to their group allocation to ensure unbiased results.
