Abstract

Abstract: Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) in adolescents is understudied in Italy. This study evaluated the Italian Obsessive Compulsive Inventory–Child Version (OCI–CV) and its predictive validity on OCD symptoms at 1-year-follow-up, an aspect that was not investigated by previous international research. Use of OCI–CV in schools might enhance early identification of OCD symptoms.
