Effect of an Internet-Delivered Stepped-Care Program vs In-Person Cognitive Behavioral Therapy on Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Symptoms in Children and Adolescents: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Treatment with an internet intervention followed by traditional face-to-face therapy, if necessary, might be noninferior to in-person therapy alone. In 152 children and adolescents, the mean Children's Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale score at 6 months was 11.57 in those treated with internet-delivered CBT. The score was 10.57 in those treated with in-person CBT.
