OCD Research

Baylor College of Medicine is launching what we are hoping will be the largest, most nationally representative survey on OCD to date – the National OCD Survey. Our goal is to reach as many adults with OCD as possible in all 50 states so that we can better understand the impact of sociocultural and regional influences on OCD.


Yale School of Medicine Child Study Center. is currently looking for participants for three genetics studies: TIC Genetics, OCD Genetics, and Trichotillomania/BFRB Genetics. The purpose of this study is to identify the genetic factors that cause these disorders using a family-based approach. We hope that these discoveries will lead to the development of new treatments to help alleviate the suffering, but we will need the participation of many families in order to make this happen. Anyone interested in participating could complete the survey interest form and contact [email protected].
