Participants sought for studies Do you have OCD? Participate in a survey on lifestyle and health
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) often means a very limited life, where a lot of energy is put into dealing with anxiety and obsessive thoughts. Researchers at Karolinska Institutet are now conducting a survey-study, examining the lifestyle and health of people diagnosed with OCD. If you have a confirmed OCD diagnosis, you are welcome to participate in the survey.
Previous research has indicated that individuals with OCD have a higher risk to develop different health problems, which could be related to lifestyle habits, such as physical inactivity, smoking, an unhealthy diet and more.
A research group at Karolinska Institutet is conducting an online survey on the physical health and lifestyle habits of individuals with OCD from all over the world. The researchers hope that the results from this study will fill important knowledge gaps and help to develop preventive measures.
