“…The comorbidity between these disorders is high, and both substance abuse and disorders, such as antisocial personality disorder and conduct disorder, are currently conceptualized as expressions of a single externalizing spectrum of psychiatric disorders (e.g. Krueger & Markon, 2006;see APA, 2015 andSoe-Agnie et al, 2018). In the externalizing spectrum model, substance abuse and aggressive/antisocial behavior are considered to fall under an overall tendency to engage in antisocial impulsive behaviors.…”

“…In the externalizing spectrum model, substance abuse and aggressive/antisocial behavior are considered to fall under an overall tendency to engage in antisocial impulsive behaviors. The externalizing spectrum approach to substance abuse and antisocial behavioral disorders has been adopted in the DSM-5 psychiatric classification system (APA, 2015), although little research has been done on this concept in clinical populations (Soe-Agnie et al, 2018). More recently, the Externalizing Spectrum model was adopted in the Hierarchical Taxonomy of Psychopathology (HiTOP) model (Kotov et al, 2017;Krueger et al, 2018).…”

The Externalizing Spectrum Inventory aims at assessing personality features that underlie externalizing disorders such as substance abuse and antisocial behaviors. The objective was to replicate the psychometric properties of the 160-item Externalizing Spectrum Inventory in Dutch clinical and non-clinical samples. First, Cronbach's alpha, test-retest reliability and the factor structure were analyzed on a mixed sample of inpatients (n ¼ 149), undergraduates (n ¼ 227), and community participants (n ¼ 178). The factor structure was evaluated through confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses; for the latter Parallel Analysis was used, based on Minimum Rank Factor Analysis. Next, the criterion validity was analyzed using the Aggression Questionnaire and the NEO-Five Factor Inventory as external measures. The Dutch Externalizing Spectrum Inventory subscales showed sufficient reliability (a¼.68-.94; ICC¼.68-.91), except in the undergraduate sample . The factor structure of the Externalizing Spectrum Inventory was not confirmed and the exploratory analysis yielded different factor solutions across samples. The criterion validity was supported with regard to trait aggression and partly supported with regard to the Five Factor Model. The results suggest that the ESI-160 and its original factor model can be used for prediction purposes. However, further research of the factor structure is strongly recommended. ARTICLE HISTORY

“…Nevertheless, drug use and problems related to consumption, such as money debts, cravings, and withdrawal [70], may lead to an increase in impulsive aggression. It has been hypothesised that impulsive aggression and drug use may be part of the same spectrum of externalising behaviour [40,71].…”

“…SUDs are highly comorbid with ASPD and are related to both aggression and criminal behaviour [38,39]. Although they represent two different nosological entities, some authors argue that SUDs may be part of the spectrum of antisocial behaviour [40]. Individuals with an SUD possess increased levels of impulsivity, which may be explained by the impact of abuse substances on the brain's structure and function as well as by previous individual vulnerability [41].…”

aggression. ASPD patients with impulsive aggression had significantly lower scores of total PCL-R (p<0.01) factor 1 and interpersonal facet 1 (p<0.05), compared with ASPD patients with premeditated aggression. ASPD patients with impulsive aggression and ASPD patients with premeditated aggression had comparable BIS-11 mean scores, and exhibited an equal prevalence of SUDs. The interpersonal facet 1of the PCL-R predicted the aggression type (p<0.05) in ASPD patients, and the exponential beta value for facet 1 was 1.42 (CI = 1.03; 1.95). Conclusions The aggression type that is associated with ASPD is mainly impulsive in nature. ASPD patients who have higher scores of psychopathic traits have a lower probability of exhibiting impulsive aggression and a higher probability of exhibiting premeditated aggression. Although ASPD patients have high levels of impulsivity and a high frequency of SUDs, these two variables were not predictors of the aggression type.

“…Taken together, the relationships between the use of illicit drugs and legally approved substances are complex and intertwined or mutually reinforcing [35,36]. They may be affected by the personal circumstances and environmental conditions of the abusers, and may cause other forms of behavioral maladjustment [17,37,38]. Nevertheless, our current understanding of this complicated phenomenon of substance abuse is limited, and so more cross-disciplinary research is again recommended.…”

Substance Abuse and Public Health: A Multilevel Perspective and Multiple Responses

Substance abuse has been a thorny public health concern throughout human history. Manifestly, prevention and treatment are the two main strategies commonly adopted to tackle the problem of substance abuse. They are in fact cross-disciplinary, and they relate to the various domains of heredity, biology, psychology, cognitive science, family, social development and cultural structures. This special issue, “Substance Abuse, Environment and Public Health,” has published empirical studies from different regions and countries globally to enhance the international exchange of latest views and findings on the etiology, processes and influences of substance abuse across different domains, through which a multilevel perspective is considered more helpful for analyzing its complex nature, courses and consequences. This in turn suggests the possible need to employ multiple responses dynamically and integratively in the prevention and treatment of substance abuse.

The generalizability of the structure of substance abuse and antisocial behavioral syndromes: A systematic review

Abstract: Although the externalizing spectrum model is a promising angle for future research and treatment, extending research on this model in a higher diversity of populations is recommended to enhance the understanding and applicability of the externalizing spectrum model.
