Associations between obsessive-compulsive disorder, early life stress, psychological variables and treatment resistance

This dataset was collected using an online survey between May and July 2022. People with and without obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD; n = 390) were asked to complete a survey which included the following questionnaires: Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory Revised (OCI-R); Child Abuse and Trauma Scale (CATS; Sanders & Becker-Lausen, 1995); Brief Experiential Avoidance Questionnaire (BEAQ; Gamez et al., 2014); Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS; Zigmond & Snaith, 1983); and the "Planning" and "Active Coping" subscales of the Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (COPE) questionnaire (Carver, 1989). Participants were also asked to provide information on whether they had OCD (and if it was self- or professionally- diagnosed) and what treatment they had received for OCD. Brief demographic information (age, gender, ethnicity, university attendance) was also recorded.
