About

The overarching goal of this protocol is to investigate mechanisms that influence symptom outcomes of exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy for OCD. Mechanisms may include affective processes, learning factors, cognitive factors, or other constructs that could influence treatment outcomes. The study team will conduct this research within the context of an effective online treatment for OCD called OCD-NET. OCD-NET is bibliotherapy with coaching and its content is reflective of standard care for OCD.
