Multi-technology Parent Training in Exposure and Response Prevention for Youth with Obsessive-Compulsive disorder.

Pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder significantly impacts the lives of children and families, with cognitive-behavioural therapy including exposure and response prevention (ERP) being the current recommended treatment. However, several barriers prevent children and families from receiving timely access to evidence-based care. Parent training in ERP, integrated into multi-technology programs, offers an innovative approach to maintain therapeutic support by training parents to implement ERP at home, overcoming delays to accessing care. These programs have demonstrated preliminarily effectiveness, acceptability, and feasibility, and provide families with treatment when and where they need it most.
