### OCD Exposure Therapy Research Study Enrollment Form

Finding effective treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder can be a challenging journey, and research studies play a vital role in advancing therapeutic approaches. If you're a mental health researcher, clinical psychologist, or healthcare provider conducting OCD exposure therapy research, having a comprehensive and compassionate enrollment form is essential for participant screening, consent, and treatment planning.

This **OCD Exposure Therapy Research Study Enrollment Form** template is designed specifically for clinical research teams studying exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy for OCD. It combines standardized assessment tools like the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) with personalized ritual hierarchy development and detailed informed consent processes—all in one streamlined, HIPAA-friendly format.

#### Why Paperform for Clinical Research Enrollment?

Mental health research requires forms that are not only comprehensive but also sensitive to participant experience. Paperform's document-style editor allows you to create research enrollment forms that feel approachable and clear rather than intimidating. You can incorporate educational content, videos explaining exposure therapy, and images that help normalize the research process alongside your screening questions.

**Key features that make Paperform ideal for OCD research enrollment:**

 - **Conditional logic** shows relevant questions based on symptom profiles, ensuring participants only see sections applicable to their specific OCD subtype
 - **Multi-page layouts** break complex assessments into manageable sections, reducing participant fatigue
 - **Secure data collection** with SOC 2 Type II compliance protects sensitive health information
 - **E-signature integration via Papersign** (papersign.com) allows participants to digitally sign informed consent documents with full legal validity
 - **Automated workflows through Stepper** (stepper.io) can trigger follow-up emails, schedule initial assessments, notify research coordinators, and route participants to appropriate study arms

#### What This Template Includes

This comprehensive template covers the complete enrollment journey for OCD exposure therapy research:

**Participant Screening & Demographics**: Collects essential information including age, diagnosis history, current treatment status, and medication information to determine study eligibility.

**Y-BOCS Severity Assessment**: Incorporates key questions from the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale to assess baseline symptom severity across obsessions and compulsions, providing standardized severity ratings that are essential for research protocols.

**OCD Subtype & Symptom Profile**: Identifies specific obsession types (contamination, harm, symmetry, intrusive thoughts) and corresponding compulsions to tailor the exposure hierarchy and treatment approach.

**Ritual Hierarchy Development**: Guides participants through creating their personalized fear hierarchy, rating distress levels for specific situations and rituals—a critical component of exposure therapy planning.

**Informed Consent**: Provides comprehensive information about the study protocol, exposure therapy procedures, potential risks and benefits, confidentiality protections, and withdrawal rights, followed by digital consent capture.

**Treatment Expectations & Commitment**: Assesses participant readiness for exposure therapy, time availability, and motivation levels to ensure appropriate study fit.

**Relapse Prevention Planning**: Collects information about support systems, coping strategies, and long-term goals to inform post-treatment planning and follow-up protocols.

#### Perfect for Mental Health Research Teams

This template is ideally suited for:

 - **Clinical psychologists** conducting OCD treatment outcome research
 - **University research departments** studying anxiety disorders and evidence-based interventions
 - **Hospital-based research programs** evaluating exposure therapy protocols
 - **Mental health clinics** recruiting participants for clinical trials
 - **Behavioral health researchers** investigating ERP effectiveness across different OCD presentations

#### Streamline Your Research Workflow with Automation

Once a participant completes this enrollment form, you can use **Stepper** to automatically:

 - Send personalized welcome emails with study timelines and next steps
 - Schedule intake appointments and baseline assessments in your calendar system
 - Notify research coordinators when participants meet inclusion criteria
