Summary

This trial is testing two digital health programs for OCD in order to see if they are effective and accessible treatments for the disorder.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults in the U.S. with a primary diagnosis of OCD, stable on any psychotropic meds for at least 2 months. It's not suitable for those with recent CBT treatment or app use for OCD, severe depression or substance issues, bipolar disorder, psychosis, acute suicidal thoughts, PTSD, or who are receiving other psychological treatments.
What is being tested?
The study compares two digital health programs: Perspectives OCD and The Health and Well-Being Program to see if they can help people manage their OCD symptoms effectively by increasing access to treatment through technology.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves digital interventions rather than medication, side effects may include discomfort from regular device use such as eye strain or headaches. Emotional distress could also occur due to confronting challenging content related to managing OCD.
