Huge shoutout to the massive multinational team who supported this work and to my co-authors, especially Matti Cervin for his statistical brilliance and Eric Storch for his leadership on this project and the Y-BOCS-II. Free access for 50 days: /6.

These benchmarks represent an upward shift of moderate and severity score ranges compared to the Y-BOCS. A lack of participants “among the most extremely ill” precluded our ability to provide more nuance in the “severe” range (eg, “extreme/debilitating OCD”) /5

Total Y-BOCS-II scores were compared against Clinical Global Impression-Severity scores (1-7). Suggested benchmarks were: 0-14 (non/subclinical), 15-21 (mild), 22-34 (moderate), 35-50 (severe). These were similar across gender and age groups /4.

We used a sample of 3,061 participants collected from 2 samples: the LATINO study, representing Latin American/Hispanic children and adults (7-89 years) from 12 countries and a holdout sample of 78 children and adults (15-78) from outpatient psychiatry clinics in China /3.

Benchmarks for the Y-BOCS were recently updated (Cervin at el 2022) yet benchmarks had yet to be established for the Y-BOCS-II which has, among other changes, a higher total score severity ceiling (50 instead of 40) to better capture the most debilitating OCD cases. /2.
