Validation of the Short Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder Screener (SOCS) in children and adolescents
Open accessAbstract
Background: The Short Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder Screener (SOCS) is recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence as a suitable and validated screening tool for 11- to 15-year olds. Despite its excellent sensitivity and specificity in detecting obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), it has limitations. Aims: To empirically examine whether the SOCS is suitable for assessing OCD symptoms across a wide age range of children and adolescents and to provide new data about its psychometric properties. Method: Participants were 94 patients (9–19 years) with OCD, and 880 healthy controls. Results: The results supported the SOCS' unidimensional factor structure and metric invariance across samples. It showed good reliability in terms of internal consistency and temporal stability. Furthermore, it had significantly high correlations with other OCD measures and an acceptable sensitivity and specificity for detecting OCD. Conclusions: The SOCS is a brief screening tool suitable for detecting OCD in children and adolescents.

The SOCS is considered a well-established instrument to assess OCD in adolescent clinical samples with comparable psychometric properties to other OCD self-report tools.
“It is considered a well-established instrument to assess OCD in adolescent clinical samples with comparable psychometric properties to other OCD self-report tools [141]”
From Efficacy of a transdiagnostic Internet prevention approach in adolescents (EMPATIA study): study protocol of a randomized controlled trial (2024) · cites this paper as [141]
The Discussion (‘Use of the SOCS’; page not available) says the SOCS has psychometric properties comparable to other self-report tools and can be considered ‘well-established, or at least a promising’ paediatric OCD assessment instrument. The paper includes an adolescent clinical sample, but the citing sentence omits the authors’ qualification that ‘promising’ may be the more appropriate classification. (LLM, conf=0.83)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
