TLDR
The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) was converted to an interactive computer-administered format as discussed by the authors, which showed equal ability to distinguish OCD patients from subjects in the other two groups.Abstract:
The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) was converted to an interactive computer-administered format. To examine its utility, the computer version of the YBOCS was administeredin a design counterbalanced with the clinician-administered version to a sample of patients withobsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), patients with other anxiety disorders, and nonpatient con-trols. The computer-administered version of the YBOCS correlated highly with the clinician-ad-ministered version, especially in the OCD sample, and showed equal ability to distinguish OCDpatients from subjects in the other two groups. It was also well understood and liked by subjects,who showed no preference for the clinician interview over the computer interview.read more

Effectiveness of psychological and pharmacological treatments for obsessive-compulsive disorder: a quantitative review.
TL;DR: Quantitative review of the controlled treatment outcome literature for obsessive-compulsive disorder showed that exposure with response prevention was highly effective in reducing OCD symptoms and cognitive approaches were also found to be at least as effective as exposure procedures.

The Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale: interview versus self-report.
TL;DR: Analysis of several aspects of a self-report YBOCS version relative to the usual interview format in two non-clinical samples and in a clinical OCD sample and a clinical non-OCD group suggests that the self-rated instrument showed excellent internal consistency and test-retest reliability, performing somewhat better than the interview.
