Abstract

Autism affects as many as one in 36 children, a majority of whom experience comorbid anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Obsessive-compulsive symptoms share phenotypic similarities with autism characteristics (e.g., repetitive thoughts and behaviors) and some symptoms are difficult to disentangle (e.g., obsessions from specific interests/fixations). Hence, there is a need for OCD assessments that are validated to be used among autistic youth. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale - Second Edition (CY-BOCS-II) in 91 autistic youth seeking treatment for anxiety and/or obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The CY-BOCS-II demonstrated strong convergent and divergent validity, internal consistency, and treatment sensitivity. The CY-BOCS-II is a psychometrically sound measure of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in autistic youth, although it should be evaluated across larger and more diverse samples.

儿童雅礼-布朗强迫症量表第二版在自闭症青少年中的心理测量特性

每 36 名儿童中就有 1 名患有自闭症，其中大多数都合并有焦虑症或强迫症。强迫症状与自闭症的表型特征（如重复性想法和行为）有相似之处，而且有些症状难以区分（如强迫症与特定兴趣/固着）。因此，有必要为自闭症青少年提供经过验证的强迫症评估。本研究针对 91 名因焦虑和/或强迫症状寻求治疗的自闭症青少年，评估了儿童雅礼-布朗强迫症量表-第二版（CY-BOCS-II）的心理测量特性。CY-BOCS-II 具有很强的收敛性和发散性、内部一致性和治疗敏感性。尽管 CY-BOCS-II 还需要在更大范围和更多样化的样本中进行评估，但它在自闭症青少年强迫症状的心理测量方面具有良好的计量学意义。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
