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： Journal of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders (JOCRD) is an international journal that publishes high quality research and clinically-oriented articles dealing with all aspects of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and related conditions (OC spectrum disorders; e.g., trichotillomania, hoarding, body dysmorphic disorder). The journal invites studies of clinical and non-clinical (i.e., student) samples of all age groups from the fields of psychiatry, psychology, neuroscience, and other medical and health sciences. The journal''s broad focus encompasses classification, assessment, psychological and psychiatric treatment, prevention, psychopathology, neurobiology and genetics. Clinical reports (descriptions of innovative treatment methods) and book reviews on all aspects of OCD-related disorders will be considered, as will theoretical and review articles that make valuable contributions. Suitable topics for manuscripts include: -The boundaries of OCD and relationships with OC spectrum disorders -Validation of assessments of obsessive-compulsive and related phenomena -OCD symptoms in diverse social and cultural contexts -Studies of neurobiological and genetic factors in OCD and related conditions -Experimental and descriptive psychopathology and epidemiological studies -Studies on relationships among cognitive and behavioral variables in OCD and related disorders -Interpersonal aspects of OCD and related disorders -Evaluation of psychological and psychiatric treatment and prevention programs, and predictors of outcome.
