Abstract

Objective: To validate Yale Brown Scale children and adolescents version (CY- BOCS) in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in peruvian children and adolescents. Method: 46 children and adolescents with OCD diagnosis (29 male and 17 female, between 9 and 18 years old) were evaluated using CY-BOCS. All 46 patients were tasted twice (test and retest) and the interviews were recorded in order to be scored by two examiners. The scale reliably was determined evaluating the correlation inter-examiner, correlation test-retest and the internal consistence. Results: The total scale reliably was high; the coefficient of correlation inter-examiner of Person was 95% for the test and 97% for the retest and, 90% for correlation test-retest. Obsessions reliably were 93% and 96% for the retest, and the test compulsions reliably were 97% and 96% in the retest. Internal consistence was very good, 87% for 10 items. The test validity was 89% (test) and 83% (retest).
