Objective: Many adolescents with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) do not have access
to evidence-based treatment. A randomized controlled non-inferiority trial was conducted in
a specialist OCD clinic to evaluate the effectiveness of telephone cognitive-behavioral therapy
(TCBT) for adolescents with OCD compared to standard clinic-based, face-to-face
CBT. Method: Seventy-two adolescents, aged 11 through 18 years with primary OCD, and
their parents were randomized to receive specialist TCBT or CBT. The intervention provided
differed only in the method of treatment delivery. All participants received up to 14 sessions
of CBT, incorporating exposure with response prevention (E/RP), provided by experienced
therapists. The primary outcome measure was the Childrens YaleBrown ObsessiveCompulsive Scale (CY-BOCS). Blind assessor ratings were obtained at midtreatment, posttreatment, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month follow-up. Results: Intent-to-treat analyses
indicated that TCBT was not inferior to face-to-face CBT at posttreatment, 3-month, and
6-month follow-up. At 12-month follow-up, there were no signicant between-group differences on the CY-BOCS, but the condence intervals exceeded the non-inferiority threshold.
All secondary measures conrmed non-inferiority at all assessment points. Improvements
made during treatment were maintained through to 12-month follow-up. Participants in each
condition reported high levels of satisfaction with the intervention received. Conclusion:
TCBT is an effective treatment and is not inferior to standard clinic-based CBT, at least in
the midterm. This approach provides a means of making a specialized treatment more
accessible to many adolescents with OCD. Clinical trial registration informationEvaluation

OF THE
cost.8 A number of recent controlled trials demonstrate efcacy of telehealth interventions for
adult mental health disorders; examples include
social phobia,9 depression,10 and OCD.11,12 Increasingly, there is evidence of successful piloting
telehealth interventions for childhood disorders,
including a pilot study of webcam-delivered
CBT for adolescent OCD,13 tic disorders,14 and
depression.15 Telehealth treatment typically entails the same components as conventional faceto-face CBT but is simply delivered remotely,
via a device.
Within the variety of telehealth methods
available, telephone CBT (TCBT) has some important advantages for service providers and
users, including relative ease of administration.16
There is no need for hi-technology equipment, as
most clinics have access to telephones and telephone ports, and many service users have a
telephone or access to one. For these reasons, plus
evidence suggesting that relatively few adolescents with OCD are able to access CBT17 despite it
being the recommended treatment,18 TCBT was
piloted for success and feasibility with adolescents with OCD in a London-based specialist
clinic.19 Results indicated that TCBT could successfully reduce symptoms of OCD and was
regarded positively by service users.
The aim of the present study was to determine
whether TCBT was as effective as face-to-face
CBT for adolescents with OCD. As face-to-face
CBT for OCD is a well-established treatment,5 it
is appropriate to use it as a benchmark against
which to compare TCBT and to demonstrate noninferiority. It was hypothesized that:
professionals within secondary and tertiary care settings within the National Health Service (NHS) to a
specialist OCD clinic between 2008 and 2011. Information about the study was conveyed by word of
mouth, letters to referring agencies, advertisements
published on Web pages of national OCD charities
within the UK, and by a research support organisation
within the NHS (the Mental Health Research Network).
The study protocol was approved by the Joint South
London and Maudsley/Institute of Psychiatry Research Ethics Committee (08/H0807/12). Written
informed consent was obtained from all parents and
participants more than 16 years of age, and informed
assent from participants less than 16 years of age,
after a detailed description of the study had been
given. The trial was registered on the International
Standard Randomized Controlled Trial Number Register (ISRCTN27070832).
Inclusion criteria were as follows: having primary
OCD according to DSM-IV criteria; having a CY-BOCS
score of 16 or greater, indicating moderate to severe
impairment; being between the ages of 11 and 18 years;
being medication-free or on a stable dose of medication
for a period of 12 weeks or more; having no suicidal
intent, drug or alcohol abuse, or psychotic symptoms;
having no learning disability or pervasive developmental disability; needing and wanting CBT, and
agreeable to randomisation; and being agreeable to
parental involvement in treatment. Exclusion criteria
were the following: current diagnosis of psychosis or
current alcohol or substance abuse/dependence; English comprehension too poor to engage in treatment;
severe disabling neurological disorder; diagnosed
global learning disability or pervasive developmental
delay; and characteristics interfering with completion
of treatment within trial (e.g., a life-threatening or unstable medical illness).
TCBT would not be inferior to traditional faceto-face CBT in reducing OCD symptoms as
measured by the Childrens YaleBrown
Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS).
TCBT would not be inferior on secondary
outcome measures of depressive symptoms,
self-report, and parent-report of adolescent
OCD symptoms, overall psychological health,
global functioning, and parental mental health
symptoms.
The changes observed at the end of the treatment period would be maintained over a 12month follow-up period.
Measures
METHOD
Recruitment and Inclusion Criteria
Participants were recruited by referral from primary
care general practitioners and from mental health
Primary Outcome Measure. The primary outcome measure was the clinician-administrated CY-BOCS,20
which was administered by a blinded rater at all time
points.
Secondary Outcome Measures. The Childrens
Obsessional Compulsive InventoryRevised (ChOCIR)21 includes child- and parent-rated versions and is
aimed at capturing subjective measures of OCD
symptom severity and impairment.
The Beck Depression Inventory for Youth (BDI-Y)22
assesses symptoms of depression in adolescents. Psychometric properties are sound.23
The Strengths and Difculties Questionnaire
(SDQ)24 assesses child mental health symptoms more
broadly. We used the total score to provide a measure
of general psychological functioning from both a childrated and parent-rated perspective.
Parental mental health was assessed using the total
score of the 42-item version of the Depression, Anxiety

1299
TURNER et al.
and Stress Scales (DASS).25 The DASS has demonstrated strong psychometric properties in both clinical
and community samples.26
Diagnostic Assessment, Global Functioning, and
Improvement. Blinded raters completed all diagnostic
assessments and ratings of global functioning and
improvement. Psychiatric diagnoses were established
using the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for
Children (ADIS-IV-C/P).27 The Childrens Global
Impression Scale (CGAS)28 is a numeric scale ranging
from 1 (needs constant supervision: 24-hour care) to
100 (superior functioning in all areas) and was used to
rate the participants overall general functioning. The
Clinical Global ImpressionImprovement (CGI-I) rating scale29 assessed how much the participants
symptoms had improved or worsened relative to
baseline. Participants were rated on a 7-point scale
ranging from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much
worse).
Assessment of Treatment Credibility, Expectancy, and
Satisfaction With Treatment Received. A treatment credibility and expectancy scale (modied from the measure presented by Devilly and Borkovec30 to reect use
by adolescents with OCD) was used at 2 time points to
determine whether participants and their parents
viewed the treatments as equally credible. A treatment
satisfaction questionnaire was developed to assess
participant and parent satisfaction with the intervention; this was given to families posttreatment. Participant and parent satisfaction was also assessed using a
qualitative methodology, which is reported separately
(Lang et al., in preparation, 2014).
Procedure
Once referral to the specialist clinic was received,
young persons and parents were asked to complete the
ChOCI, SDQ, BDI (youth only), and the DASS (parents
only). A face-to-face assessment was arranged, potential participants completed the CY-BOCS, and a clinical
interview with parents was used by experienced psychiatrists/clinical psychologists to establish whether
inclusion criteria were met. The study was offered, and
information was provided. Families were contacted by
telephone 1 week later, and if they were agreeable to
the study, a second clinic appointment was arranged
approximately 8 weeks after the initial meeting. At
this appointment, participants and their parents completed the ADIS-IV-C/P and the CY-BOCS in structured interviews, and self- and parent-report measures
were completed again. Families were included in the
study if participants remained symptomatic and full
inclusion criteria were met. Randomization occurred at
this time. After randomization, an appointment was
made with the treating therapist, and treatment sessions commenced the following week. All treating
therapists were experienced clinical psychologists, and
all blinded raters completing assessments were either
assistant psychologists or clinical psychologists, all of
Masking Procedures
To ensure that blindness was maintained, treating
therapists and participants/parents were instructed
not to discuss the treatment that they had received with
the blinded assessors, and reminder cards were placed
in the interview rooms. After completing the assessments, blinded raters noted whether blindness had
been broken (for example, if the patient had inadvertently revealed his/her treatment group) and, if not,
made a guess regarding the patients group allocation.31 A research assistant managed the allocation of
blinded assessors and monitored blindness rating
forms. Where blindness was inadvertently broken,
outcome assessors were changed.

Treatment
Treatment consisted of 14 sessions of CBT delivered
by 6 experienced clinical psychologists. Treatment
was identical within conditions except that participants randomized to TCBT received all treatment
sessions via telephone. Sessions 1 and 2 consisted of
psychoeducation, sessions 3 to 12 consisted of gradual
exposure with response prevention (E/RP) and
incorporated various cognitive strategies as appropriate, and sessions 13 and 14 consisted of relapse
prevention and ongoing symptom management (if
required). The treatment protocol incorporated 10
minutes of parental discussion at the end of each
treatment session. Homework E/RP tasks were
assigned between sessions, and participants were
encouraged to complete daily E/RP. The treatment
Power Analysis
A noninferiority margin of 5 points on the CY-BOCS
was selected as the acceptable mean difference between conditions, based on clinical judgment and the
adult trial of TCBT conducted by Lovell et al.11 We
estimated that with a sample size of 33 in each condition, a 2-group 0.05 1-sided test would have 80% power
to reject the null hypothesis that TCBT is inferior to CBT
(i.e., the difference in means is 5.0 or farther from 0 in the
same direction) in favor of the alternative hypothesis
that TCBT is not inferior, assuming that the expected
difference in means is 0.0 and the common standard
deviation is 8.0. To allow for drop-outs, we sought to
recruit 72 participants (n 36 in each condition).
Statistical Analysis. Littles Missing Completely at
Random (MCAR) test was used to establish that
missing data was missing at random. Missing values
on all outcome measures for all follow-up occasions
were imputed via Multiple Imputation using Chained
Equations (MICE) in Stata 11, with the ice command.34
Ten imputed data sets were created for the CY-BOCS,
and up to 100 imputed data sets were created for secondary outcome measures depending on the amount of

for the primary outcome was set at 5 points on the CYBOCS scale using a 95% condence interval. TCBT
would be deemed non-inferior to CBT if the upper limit
of the 95% condence interval for the difference between TCBT and CBT is less than 5, meaning that we
are 95% condent that the true value of the difference is not worse than 5 points on the CY-BOCS scale.
For secondary outcome measures, the margin of inferiority was set for each measure at a difference of 1
standard deviation from the CBT condition mean for
each assessment point. All primary and secondary
outcomes are reported using an intent-to-treat sample
of N 72. Last available observation data were used to
determine the number of participants who could be
classied as responders (i.e., CY-BOCS reduction of
35% or more) or remitters (i.e., CY-BOCS 12).38

Assessment of Blinding
Treatment condition was inadvertently revealed
to blinded assessors in a small number of cases at
each time point as follows: 2 patients at session 7; 3
patients at session 14; 1 patient at 3-month followup; 2 patients at 6-month follow-up; and 4 patients
at 12-month follow-up. Excluding those, the blind
raters guesses regarding treatment condition
were no better than chance at session 7 (k 0.259,
p .061), session 14 (k 0.003, p .984), 3-month
follow-up (k 0.005, p .967), 6-month follow-up
(k 0.164, p .227), or 12-month follow-up
(k 0.064, p .654).
DISCUSSION
This study demonstrates that CBT for child and
adolescent OCD delivered by telephone is not
inferior in efcacy to the traditional method of
clinic-based, face-to-face CBT. Blinded assessor
ratings of OCD symptom severity demonstrated
non-inferiority of TCBT from posttreatment
through to 6-month follow-up. The results have
signicant potential to increase the accessibility of
CBT for adolescents with OCD.
At 12-month follow-up, although the condence intervals for the mean CY-BOCS score in
the TCBT group fell outside the non-inferiority
margin, no signicant difference was observed
between the conditions with respect to clinicianrated OCD symptoms, and importantly, according to child- and parent-reported OCD
symptoms, TCBT was non-inferior to face-toface CBT at all follow-up points. Similarly,
non-inferiority was established at all time points

for all other secondary outcome measures including child depressive symptoms, child global
functioning, parental accommodation of OCD
symptoms, and parental psychopathology.
Participant and parent responses to the telephone condition were positive. Adherence rates
for both conditions were high, and participants
and parents from both conditions reported high
levels of satisfaction with the treatment received.
Of note, a small number of families declined to
participate in the study, as they did not want to
be allocated to the TCBT condition (n 8).
Conversely, there was a small number of families
(n 3) who declined participation because they
did not want to be allocated to the CBT condition,
and the reason given was that the travel to the
clinic was a deterrent. Interestingly, there was a
signicant difference between groups with regard
to the number of young persons who reported
satisfaction with their allocated condition, and a
greater number of young persons reported being
satised with the TCBT condition. Participants
and parents within each condition reported
equivalent levels of alliance/engagement with
their treating therapist, and both conditions were
perceived as credible.
Given that a non-inferiority design was used, it is
important to consider whether face-to-face CBT
was as effective as in previous trials. We found that
face-to-face CBT was associated with a 51% reduction in OCD symptom severity over the acute phase
of treatment and a 67% reduction from pretreatment to 12-month follow-up, which is commensurate with ndings from previous controlled trials.40
Furthermore, at posttreatment, around 90% were
classied as treatment responders and 61% as remitters, rates that are consistent with or better than
previous studies.33,41 Face-to-face CBT in the current study can therefore be considered to be an
appropriate benchmark.
The current ndings suggest that TCBT has
promise as a mode of treatment delivery and
supports the general move toward integrating
telehealth into mental health services.42 TCBT has
the potential to extend the availability of CBT to
remote areas and/or regions with workforce
shortages, thereby reducing geographical inequalities in the availability of CBT.43 More
generally, TCBT may be preferred to traditional
face-to-face CBT by some families and services,
because of its convenience and its potential to
reduce demands on resources (e.g., travel, clinic
space). A previous trial conducted among adults
with OCD found that TCBT sessions were overall
50% shorter than face-to-face sessions, yet the 2
treatments were associated with equivalent clinical outcomes, suggesting a possible economic
benet of TCBT.11 Further research is needed to
establish whether TCBT may be more costeffective than face-to-face CBT in pediatric OCD.
There are several strengths to this study, including the following: conformity to CONSORT
guidelines for non-inferiority trials; adequate
power to test the hypotheses; the inclusion of
participants/parents who were seeking help
through the UK NHS; inclusion/exclusion criteria designed to maximize generalizability; good
retention (i.e., low attrition) rates; use of blinded
outcome assessors; and use of a treatment
protocol shown to be effective.19,33 TCBT was
therefore assessed for non-inferiority against a
gold-standard treatment.
The ndings should also be considered in the
context of the studys limitations. First, the design
did not include a no-treatment or placebo
treatment control condition. Second, the noninferiority threshold of 5 could be considered
as high, and future studies may consider adopting
a more stringent threshold to allow for the potential detection of small between-group differences.
Third, the study was conducted by experienced
CBT therapists, and it cannot be assumed that the
ndings would necessarily translate to less experienced therapists or other service settings,
although previous research has demonstrated that
manualized CBT for pediatric OCD is transportable and effective when delivered in community
settings by nonspecialist therapists.44 Fourth,
