Study Details

This observational, cross-sectional case-control study evaluates obsessive-compulsive symptoms among adults with substance use disorder compared with a demographically similar control group without substance use disorder. Patients aged 18-50 years attending the addiction management inpatient and outpatient services at Assiut University Hospital, and healthy controls recruited from relatives, friends, and hospital staff, will complete structured clinical interviews, the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale, and other standardized scales for psychiatric symptoms, cognition, and quality of life. The main objective is to estimate the prevalence and severity of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in substance use disorder and examine their associations with sociodemographic and clinical factors, addiction severity, and quality of life in the recovery stage.

  • Arm: Healthy Control Group
    Adults aged 18-50 years without substance use disorder, recruited from relatives, friends, or hospital workers, matched on sociodemographic characteristics where feasible, and assessed with the same clinical and psychometric battery to compare obsessive-compulsive symptoms and related outcomes with the patient group.
