OCD Research Survey - Univ. of South Florida

[Guest guest]

From: Elysse Arnold -

I am conducting an online survey that examines barriers to effective treatment

for children with OCD. I am a research assistant at the University of South

Florida. And, I think that collecting this information is crucial to future

pediatric OCD research. The survey is completely anonymous and filled out by

parents of children with OCD. Also, the survey has been approved by our local

Institutional Review Board.

I have provided a link below to the " test " survey which allows you to view the

survey without storing your responses in the database. Also, I have provided the

actual link that parents can use to take the survey. The survey is for parents

of children with OCD between ages 5 and 17 years old and asks questions about

treatment barriers, OCD symptoms, overall anxiety impairment, demographic

information and past treatment history. The survey does not ask for any

identifying information. So, the parent or guardian can feel secure in knowing

that the survey is anonymous. The survey must be completed in one seating and

takes approximately one half hour. We feel that gathering this information is

very important to OCD research.

difficulties.

My child is now 19 years old, but his OCD diagnosis was made when he was 16 (and

accounted for many symptoms before it was recognized as OCD). Would you like me

to fill out the survey?

JJMD, here's Elysse's reply to your question I sent her, it is strict as to age:

Hi

I am so grateful for your help and the willingness of this parent.

Unfortunately, I am only approved by the institutional review board to

administer the survey to parents of children between the ages of 5 and 17.

Because of the strict nature of research involving children, it would be a

violation to knowingly include a person who did not meet the criteria. Please

let this parent know that I truly appreciate his/her willingness.

Sincerely,

Elysse
