Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory - Revised
OCI-R is an 18-item self-report of obsessive-compulsive symptom dimensions. This page is for clinics. It is not a Y-BOCS interview and not a diagnosis.
Overview
What is the OCI-R?
The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised asks about several OCD-related symptom dimensions such as washing, checking, and ordering. It is a self-report inventory for screening or monitoring, not a diagnostic interview.
Development and clinical use
Foa and colleagues published OCI-R as a shorter revision of the OCI. Dimension scores can help describe the pattern a clinician then assesses.
