Case Western Reserve University Studies:
Researchers at Case Western
Reserve University are conducting two online studies about
the relationships
of individuals with OCD or hoarding. Each study involves completing
questionnaires online about relationships, emotions and OCD. You must be at
least 18 to participate.
Those who participate may enter into a raffle for a
Target gift card. The information gathered
from this study may help to
improve therapies for OCD. For more information, visit their
