Behavioral avoidance predicts treatment outcome with exposure and response prevention for obsessive-compulsive disorder
Overview
This study examines whether pretreatment behavioral avoidance predicts outcomes for patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder undergoing exposure and response prevention (EX/RP). Using data from a randomized controlled trial, the authors found that higher baseline avoidance was associated with poorer symptom reduction and lower remission rates specifically in the EX/RP group. The research suggests that assessing avoidance may help predict treatment response, as it also influenced adherence to between-session assignments.
