Abstract

Hoarding behaviors - characterized by the acquisition, clutter and difficulty of discarding a large number of useless objects - occur in many clinical symptoms and disorders. These behaviors are generally, though not always, linked to obsessive-compulsive symptoms and they are associated with different levels of distress and impairment. Empirical studies on hoarding in children and adolescents are very scarce. Surprisingly, we have not found any self-report measure of hoarding for this period of life . The current study reports on the development of a new self-report measure for assessing adolescents’ hoarding symptoms. Our measure is inspired by the Saving Inventory- Revised (SI-R), a widely used self-report measure of hoarding in adults, and by the Children’s Saving Inventory (CSI), the only parent rated measure design to asses child hoarding behaviors we have found. Preliminary results obtained from CUAC-A in a sample of 1081 adolescents (557 boys and 524 girls) support the existence of this pathology in adolescence and, as a consequence, we propose the inclusion of hoarding among the contents of child and adolescent psychiatry.
