“…The C-FOCI is similar to other self-report measures in that it assesses the presence of obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Key features that distinguish the C-FOCI from other measures include similarity to the CY-BOCS Severity Scale, thereby facilitating comparisons between the measures, and the use of a unitary Severity Scale, corresponding with evidence that separate obsession and compulsion severity indices may not be the ideal way to conceptualize symptom severity [31,52]. The present measure has the unique strength of assessing a range of common obsessions and compulsions as well as their overall severity on a unitary scale, similar in content to the CY-BOCS.…”

“…In addition to the Severity Scale, the CY-BOCS contains a Symptom Checklist that assesses the presence or absence of a number of obsessions and compulsions. The CY-BOCS Severity Scale has exhibited good internal consistency (a = .90), test-retest reliability over 6 weeks (Total Score intraclass correlation coefficient = .79), and convergent and discriminant validity [7,8,31].…”

“…The Children's Depression InventoryShort Form (CDI-SF) [32] is a 10-item self-report measure that assesses the presence and severity of cognitive, affective, and behavioral symptoms of depression over a 2-week period. Based on the full 27-item version, the CDI-SF has exhibited adequate internal consistency (a = .80) and correlates strongly with the full version (r = .89), which has excellent psychometric properties (see [31] for a review). Cronbach's a in this sample was .76.…”

This report describes the development and psychometric properties of the Children's Florida Obsessive Compulsive Inventory (C-FOCI). Designed specifically as a brief measure for assessing obsessive-compulsive symptoms, the C-FOCI was created for use in both clinical and community settings. Study 1 included 82 children and adolescents diagnosed with primary Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and their parents. The Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS) was administered to assess symptom severity. Thereafter, parents completed the Child Obsessive-Compulsive Impact Scale-Parent Version and Child Behavior Checklist, and youth completed the C-FOCI, Child Obsessive-Compulsive Impact Scale-Child Version, Multidimensional Anxiety Scale for Children, and Children's Depression Inventory-Short Form. A subgroup of 21 individuals was retested with the C-FOCI after completing 14 sessions of intensive cognitive-behavioral therapy. Construct validity of the C-FOCI was supported vis-à-vis evidence of treatment sensitivity, and moderate relations with clinician-rated symptom severity, the CY-BOCS Symptom Checklist, child- and parent-rated functional impairment, child-rated anxiety, and parent-rated internalizing symptoms. Discriminant validity was evidenced by weak relationships with parent-reports of externalizing symptoms. For Study 2, 191 non-clinical adolescents completed the C-FOCI to assess the feasibility of internet administration. Overall, internal consistency was acceptable for the C-FOCI Symptom Checklist and Severity Scale, and respondents were able to complete the measure with little difficulty. Taken together, the findings of Studies 1 and 2 provide initial support for the reliability and validity of the C-FOCI for the assessment of pediatric obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

“…This may serve as an alternative manner of assessing symptomatology particularly as some patients have difficulty distinguishing between resistance and successful control [Deacon and Abramowitz, 2005]. Alone these lines, some have proposed the notion of ego-syntonic and ego-dystonic OCD as being a key factor in determining a treatment plan [Storch et al, 2005]. Past history of limited resistance or control may be indicative of ego-syntonic symptoms and provide prognostic information about treatment course.…”

Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale: the dimensional structure revisited

et al. 2005

The factor structure of the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) has been examined in a number of prior investigations; however, findings have not consistently yielded a stable factor solution. The present study therefore tested the fit of each previously reported factor structure. One hundred thirty-one adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) were administered the Y-BOCS; a portion of these participants completed self-report measures of depression and obsessive-compulsive symptoms and were rated on a global impairment index. Consistent with the originally proposed structure, confirmatory factor analyses supported a factor structure comprised of obsession and compulsion factors. Reliability and convergent validity of these factors were generally satisfactory, although divergent validity was not entirely supported. Implications of these findings on scoring the Y-BOCS are discussed.

“…The CY-BOCS has excellent reliability and validity. [30][31][32][33] Tic-Related Impairment-The Child Tourette's Syndrome Impairment Scale-Parent Report (CTIM-P) 34 assesses tic-related impairment or impairment due to a co-occurring problem (e.g., attention deficits, oppositional/defiant behaviors, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, etc.). The scale measures impairment occurring at school, home, or during social activities within the past month.…”
