Zusammenfassung:	This study describes the prevalence of emotional and behavioural problems in the offspring of parents who are members of the Obsessive-Compulsive Neurosis Support Group in South Australia. The results suggest that the offspring of adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder do not have more problems than other children and adolescents in the community. The study also highlights potential benefits of collaborative research conducted by research groups and self-help organisations.
