A parallel, randomized controlled trial with two conditions (experimental and control group) will be carried out in a sample of teachers that work in primary and secondary education. Pre-post changes will be assessed. Experimental group will use the app until they finish it (within a set period of 10 days), whereas control group will do nothing for 10 days. Primarily, it is expected that after the use of the app, participants will show an improvement in OCD-related literacy, stigmatizing attitudes, desired social distance and their comfort, confidence and perceived ability in teaching and handling students with OCD. Secondarily, the investigators hypothesize that experimental group might show a reduction in obsessive-compulsive symptoms., conditionsModule conditions: Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, designModule studyType: INTERVENTIONAL, phases: NA, designInfo allocation: RANDOMIZED, interventionModel: PARALLEL, interventionModelDescription: A parallel randomized controlled trial (RCT) with two arms: experimental group (use of esTOCma) and control group (untreated) will be carried out.As participants enroll in the study, those that meet the inclusion criteria will be randomized into experimental or control group and into contamination or aggressive vignette (see Outcome Measures). Everyone will complete the baseline measures (T1). Then, those assigned to experimental group will use the app esTOCma until they finish it (they will be given a 10-days deadline), whereas control group will do nothing for 10 days. After that, all the participants will complete again the assessment instruments (T2)., primaryPurpose: PREVENTION, maskingInfo masking: SINGLE, whoMasked: PARTICIPANT, enrollmentInfo count: 90, type: ESTIMATED, armsInterventionsModule interventions name: Use of esTOCma, outcomesModule primaryOutcomes measure: Change in general OCD literacy, primaryOutcomes measure: Change in OCD literacy associated with a vignette, primaryOutcomes measure: Change in stigmatizing attitudes related to OCD associated with a vignette, primaryOutcomes measure: Change in comfort in addressing OCD, primaryOutcomes measure: Change in desired social distance, secondaryOutcomes measure: Change in obsessive-compulsive symptoms, eligibilityModule sex: ALL, minimumAge: 18 Years, maximumAge: 99 Years, stdAges: ADULT, stdAges: OLDER_ADULT, contactsLocationsModule locations facility: University of Valencia/ Universitat de València, status: RECRUITING, city: Valencia, zip: 46010, country: Spain, contacts name: Gemma Garcia-Soriano, PhD, role: CONTACT, geoPoint lat: 39.46975, lon: -0.37739, hasResults: False
