Resumen :
Background
The Short Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder Screener (SOCS) is
recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care
Excellence as a suitable and validated screening tool for 11- to
15-year olds. Despite its excellent sensitivity and specificity in
detecting obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), it has limitations.
Aims
To empirically examine whether the SOCS is suitable for
assessing OCD symptoms across a wide age range of children
and adolescents and to provide new data about its
psychometric properties.
Method
Participants were 94 patients (9–19 years) with OCD, and
880 healthy controls.
Results
The results supported the SOCS’ unidimensional factor
structure and metric invariance across samples. It showed
good reliability in terms of internal consistency and temporal
stability. Furthermore, it had significantly high correlations with
other OCD measures and an acceptable sensitivity and specificity
for detecting OCD.
Conclusions
The SOCS is a brief screening tool suitable for detecting OCD in
children and adolescents.
