I read this article with great interest as using CBCL as a screen ,diagnostic and research tool with youth with OCD is an attractive prospect in terms of economy of form.As research points out the isolation and dependency of these young people it would perhaps add value if the social competence sections of the CBCL were used as well as the Total problem behavior score and subscales. I am planning some research and would like to use the ocs subscale , however the URL in your article offering data with various cutoff levels provided could not be accessed from the URL- could you e mail it to me please Thank you
