Researchers at BC Children’s Hospital are conducting a study to investigate how thinking processes and problem solving (neurocognition) may be different in kids with OCD compared to kids without OCD. We are looking for healthy MALE volunteers between 6 to 18 years to participate in our research to learn more about OCD in an effort to help OCD-affected children and their families. What participation gives you: # Pride for helping OCD research # A gift card # Optional written report about the results # Letter of recognition for your volunteer hours (may be used for high schools) We are looking for boys who: # Do not have OCD # Are between 6-18 years old # Are fluent in English # Are interested in “thinking” activities What it involves: # 2 to 3 hours of “thinking” activities We are very flexible with scheduling a time slot with you to your convenience. Results from this study will be kept confidential. Ethics approval has been obtained through the UBC Clinical Research Ethics Board. Investigator: Dr. S. Evelyn Stewart. Interested?
