“…The internal consistency of the OCI-HD in this sample is similar to figures cited in previous studies (e.g. Huppert et al 2007, .93; Williams et al 2013, .81). The internal consistency of the OCI-OCD was similar to two prior studies that investigated the psychometric properties of the 15-item OCI-R scale without the HD items (.89; Frost et al, 2013; Hall, Tolin, Frost, & Steketee, 2013).…”

Traditionally, hoarding symptoms were coded under obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), however, in DSM-5 hoarding symptoms are classified as a new independent diagnosis, hoarding disorder (HD). This change will likely have a considerable impact on the self-report scales that assess symptoms of OCD, as these scales often include items measuring symptoms of hoarding. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of one of the most commonly used self-report measures of OCD symptoms, the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised (OCI-R), in a sample of 474 individuals with either OCD (n = 118), HD (n = 201) or no current or past psychiatric disorders (n = 155). Participants with HD were diagnosed according to the proposed DSM-5 criteria. For the purposes of this study the OCI-R was divided into two scales; the OCI-OCD (measuring the 5 dimensions of OCD) and the OCI-HD (measuring the hoarding dimension). Evidence of validity for the OCI-OCD and OCI-HD was obtained by comparing scores with the Saving Inventory Revised (SI-R), the Hoarding Rating Scale (HRS) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Receiver operating curves for both subscales indicated good sensitivity and specificity for cut-scores determining diagnostic status. The results indicated that the OCI-OCD and OCI-HD subscales are reliable and valid measures that adequately differentiate between DSM-5 diagnostic groups. Implications for the future use of the OCI-R in OCD and HD samples are discussed.

“…72,74–76 The OCI-R shows good to fair convergence with clinician-rated measures of OCD severity and fair to poor discriminant validity from depression, anxiety, and worry 72,74,76,77. While the OCI-R appears to be similarly reliable and valid when tested in an African-American sample, it is important to note that some research suggests that African-Americans tend to endorse significantly higher levels of symptom severity across subscales, particularly on hoarding and ordering subscales 78. Initial evidence supports the treatment sensitivity of the OCI-R, with further replication needed 77.…”

Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is a neuropsychiatric illness that often develops in childhood, affects 1%–2% of the population, and causes significant impairment across the lifespan. The first step in identifying and treating OCD is a thorough evidence-based assessment. This paper reviews the administration pragmatics, psychometric properties, and limitations of commonly used assessment measures for adults and youths with OCD. This includes diagnostic interviews, clinician-administered symptom severity scales, self-report measures, and parent/child measures. Additionally, adjunctive measures that assess important related factors (ie, impairment, family accommodation, and insight) are also discussed. This paper concludes with recommendations for an evidence-based assessment based on individualized assessment goals that include generating an OCD diagnosis, determining symptom severity, and monitoring treatment progress.

“…The total score based on the summed rating across the 18 items reflects overall OC symptom severity and was utilized as the primary regressor variable in this paper. For descriptive purposes, we also classified participants based on whether they met or exceeded the OCI-R recommended cutoff score of 36, which is indicative of probable OCD diagnosis in African Americans (Williams et al, 2013). The OCI-R has been demonstrated to have excellent internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and convergent validity (Foa et al, 2002), and has been validated among African American populations with and without OCD (Williams et al, 2013).…”

The association between obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptomatology and smoking is poorly understood, particularly in African Americans—a group subject to smoking- and OC-related health disparities. In a non-clinical sample of 253 African American smokers, we tested the negative reinforcement model of OC-smoking comorbidity, purporting that smokers with higher OC symptoms experience greater negative affect (NA) and urge to smoke for NA suppression upon acute tobacco abstinence. Following a baseline visit involving OC assessment, participants completed two counterbalanced experimental visits (non-abstinent vs. 16-hr tobacco abstinence) involving affect, smoking urge, and nicotine withdrawal assessment. OC symptom severity predicted larger abstinence-provoked increases in overall NA, anger, anxiety, depression, fatigue, urge to smoke to suppress NA, and composite nicotine withdrawal symptom index. African American smokers with elevated OC symptoms appear to be vulnerable to negative reinforcement-mediated smoking motivation and may benefit from cessation treatments that diminish NA or the urge to quell NA via smoking.
