OCS were assessed with the Short Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Screener (SOCS) questionnaire using both continuous and clinical cut-off measures to identify children with “probable OCD.” We applied linear regression models to investigate the cross-sectional relationship between brain morphology and OCS at age 13 to 16 years.

This is especially the case during adolescence, when individuals are undergoing significant biological and social changes. Adolescents with conduct problems (CP) tend to have difficulties in social relationships and to display aggressive behaviors as well as reduced cooperation with others. This pattern appears to be particularly pronounced in adolescents with CP and high callous-unemotional traits (CP/HCU).
