OCD Action believes that research plays a vital role in improving the quality of treatment available for people with OCD.
For nearly two decades, the Charity has been facilitating research by bringing together credible researchers and volunteers willing to participate in trials and studies.
The calls for participants listed below are from individuals and institutions that are known to us and where, if needed, ethical approval has been granted. They are independent from the Charity and if you have any questions about them, please contact the relevant researcher.
If you are a student or professional who is undertaking a research project, and you would like us to list your project, please email research@ocdaction.org.uk to discuss your request.
