J Adolesc. 2003 Feb;26(1):137-42. doi: 10.1016/s0140-1971(02)00083-0.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to develop a reliable self-report instrument to assess obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in young people. The children's Obsessional Compulsive Inventory (CHOCI) had good internal consistency, criterion validity and was significantly correlated with the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS). This preliminary new measure could serve to provide a more efficient and accessible way of assessing OCD in young people.
