This study aimed to characterize the nature and impact of disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) in children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) including its co-occurrence with other comorbidities and its independent influence on daily functioning. Children with ADHD (6-8 years) were recruited through 43 Melbourne schools, using a 2-stage screening (parent and teacher Conners 3 ADHD index) and case-confirmation (Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children, Version IV; [DISC-IV]) procedure. Proxy DMDD diagnosis was confirmed via items from the oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and major depressive disorder modules of the DISC-IV. Outcome domains included comorbid mental health disorders, academic functioning, social functioning, child and family quality of life, parent mental health, and parenting behaviors. Unadjusted and adjusted linear and logistic regression were used to compare children with comorbid ADHD and DMDD and children with ADHD without DMDD. Thirty-nine out of 179 children (21.8 %) with ADHD had comorbid DMDD. Children with ADHD and DMDD had a high prevalence of ODD (89.7 %) and any anxiety disorder (41.0 %). Children with ADHD and DMDD had poorer self-control and elevated bullying behaviors than children with ADHD without DMDD. Children with ADHD and DMDD were similar to children with ADHD in the other domains measured when taking into account other comorbidities including ODD. One in five children with ADHD in their second year of formal schooling met criteria for DMDD. There was a very high diagnostic overlap with ODD; however, the use of a proxy DMDD diagnosis containing items from the ODD module of the DISC-IV may have artificially inflated the comorbidity rates. DMDD added to the burden of ADHD particularly in the area of social functioning.

“…One can be wealthy and a negligent parent or can lack education but be a warm and loving parent, for example. The World Bank impact evaluation measured both the two proxies and parents' self-report of actual parenting practices and attitudes, using questions adapted from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children (Zubrick et al 2008). Mothers in the study were asked to answer 24 questions about their parenting practices and the parent-child relationship, measuring three critical aspects of parenting:…”

“…There were more mothers participating in the LSAC due to their status as the primary carer at home (see AIFS 2013). Further studies could examine models that differentiate between parent genders, as previous research found gender differences in parenting and its relation to child outcomes (see Zubrick et al 2012).…”

“…Several parenting dimensions have emerged as important for children's well-being, including parental warmth, hostility, and consistency (Zubrick et al 2012). Parental warmth involves interactions that are affectionate, positive, responsive, and supportive (Rothbaum and Weisz 1994).…”

This study contributes to the understanding of how parenting relates to adolescents' academic outcomes. This study tested the hypothesis that parenting behaviours, including parental warmth, anger, consistency and self-efficacy, are related to adolescents' academic performance and mastery, and that this relationship is mediated by adolescent boys' and girls' perceptions of parenting and their sense of school membership in different ways. Multigroup nested structural equation models were built using the data obtained from Wave 5 of the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children. Four measures of parenting behaviours, adolescents' perception of parenting behaviour, adolescents' sense of school membership and their academic performance and mastery were obtained from 1926 boys and 1850 girls and their parents to test this study's hypotheses. The path models showed that girls' perceptions of parenting played a more explicit role in affecting their academic performance and mastery compared to boys. Furthermore, parenting behaviours were mediated by boys' and girls' sense of school membership, as influenced by their perceptions of parenting, in predicting their mastery and performance orientations, though the effects were quite different. The results suggest the roles played by parents in contributing to their children's schooling and academic performance somewhat differ between boys and girls.
