Abstract
Pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) imposes significant family functioning impairment (FFI) on household routines, socio-occupational activities, and caregiver emotional well-being. Low parental tolerance of one's child's distress (PTCD) predisposes to accommodation behaviors associated with poorer OCD outcomes. Knowledge is limited regarding whether family dysfunction is related to the burden of having a child with any mental illness, or whether it differs by psychiatric condition. Methods Our study compares FFI and PTCD outcomes between pediatric OCD and non-OCD disorders, and explores clinical correlates. Data were collected at tertiary outpatient child and adolescent psychiatry programs for OCD ( n = 287) and five other specialty clinics ( n = 1110). FFI and PTCD were measured by the Family Functioning Impairment Scale and Parental Tolerance of Child's Distress Scale, respectively. Results Multivariable linear regression modelling indicated greater FFI for youth with OCD in comparison to psychiatric controls (FFI difference = 3.5, p = .018), particularly regarding family routine disturbances (FFI difference = 2.4, p = .005). FFI was associated with traumatic incident history (FFI difference = 2.8, p = .012), financial struggles (FFI difference = 3.2, p = .002) and first-degree family history of developmental/psychiatric disorders (FFI difference = 4.6, p < .001). Results highlight the significant impacts of OCD on family functioning, with greater illness severity and household routine disruptions secondary to family symptom involvement as potential contributors. It also underscores the importance of family-inclusive OCD treatment strategies and tailored interdisciplinary supports to enhance family functioning.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
