An AHRQ evidence review, funded by the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute, has informed two new articles in Pediatrics on diagnosing and managing obsessive compulsive disorders (OCD) in children. Research shows therapy with exposure and response prevention, with or without medication, is most effective—even via telehealth—and highlights an 8-question screening tool to identify children needing further evaluation.
