Validation of the Italian version of the Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale–Second Edition (Y-BOCS-II) in a clinical sample

The Yale–Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) is the most widely accepted measure of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) symptom severity. Recently, the scale has been revised into a second edition (Y-BOCS-II) in order to improve its measurement properties. The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Italian version of the Y-BOCS-II Severity Scale (SS) in a large clinical sample.
