Monitoring Daily Experiences Study
(Posted 2/01/08)

• Do you have Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)?
• Are some days better than others?
• Do you want to help increase knowledge of factors that make symptoms worse and better?
• Do you want to contribute to science without leaving your own home?

If you answered YES to these questions, you may be eligible for a research study conducted by researchers at Binghamton University (State University of NY at Binghamton) in Binghamton, NY.  The purpose of the study is to examine the daily occurrence of OCD symptoms and life events.  Participants must be at least 18 years of age and fluent in spoken and written English.

Participation entails completion of self-report questionnaires for about 15 minutes on two occasions and a 1.5-2 hour telephone interview about anxiety, mood, and other psychological experiences.  Eligible participants will be asked to complete a checklist of the life events they experience and answer a few questions about their OCD symptoms and their mood, twice a day for 4 weeks.  These activities should take no more than 10 minutes a day.  Participants will be paid $40 and will be entered in a drawing to win one of three gift certificates worth $250, $100, and $50.
