State of research regarding treatments addressing ocd and related behaviors in teens and adults with down syndrome: findings from a scoping rapid review

For individuals with Down syndrome, obsessive-compulsive traits and behaviors (OCD) begin in adolescence and persist throughout adulthood. Evidence-based OCD interventions exist, but their applicability for the Down syndrome population is unknown. Few studies have occurred exclusively with the pediatric population; therefore, our aim was to identify and determine the efficacy of interventions used to target OCD in teens and adults with Down syndrome.
