“…While other studies have failed to replicate this finding (Capaldi & Stoolmiller, 1999), adolescents with elevated depression and conduct problems seem to have particularly poor outcomes. For example, depression among clinic-referred adolescents with conduct disorder has been shown to be a particularly robust predictor of later antisocial personality disorder (Loeber et al, 2002). On the other hand, high levels of anxiety/withdrawal may actually buffer adolescents with significant conduct problems from experiencing long term negative outcomes.…”

“…For example, Marmorstein and Iacono (2003) noted that adolescents with conduct disorder and elevated depressive symptoms may repeatedly use substances to manage their negative affective states because they are relatively unconcerned about violating social norms. Interestingly, longitudinal evidence also suggests that high levels of depression are associated with the progression from childhood conduct disorder to antisocial personality disorder in young adulthood (Loeber et al, 2002). As a result, young adolescents with co-occurring depression and conduct problem symptoms may be at particular risk for developing a severe form of alcoholism with antisocial features by young adulthood.…”

Few prospective studies have examined the relation between early adolescent conduct disorder symptoms and the development of alcohol use disorders (AUD) by young adulthood. The relative contribution of other forms of adolescent psychopathology (i.e., attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, anxiety/withdrawal) to the development of AUD also remains poorly understood. There is some suggestion that the co-occurrence of conduct disorder symptoms with other forms of psychopathology may interact synergistically in predicting later alcohol use problems. The current study explores these issues using data on 506 boys from the oldest sample of the Pittsburgh Youth Study. Consistent with prior research, early conduct disorder symptoms emerged as a consistent predictor of increased AUD symptoms and an alcohol dependence diagnosis by young adulthood. In contrast, adolescent boys with high levels of anxiety/withdrawal had lower levels of AUD symptoms and were less likely to develop alcohol dependence by young adulthood. Increased depression in early adolescence was associated with higher AUD symptoms and alcohol abuse and dependence diagnoses by young adulthood, but only for boys with high levels of conduct disorder symptoms. No evidence was found for a relation between attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms and AUD symptoms or diagnoses after controlling for co-occurring psychopathology.

“…The APP index is a summary measure of the raw scores for 15 items, such as arguing a lot, being mean to others, lack of guilt, lying, threatening people, fighting, and having a bad temper. This DSM-oriented scale was included here to allow for a continual examination of developmentally appropriate problem behaviors across the age chunks, because ODP is one of the disruptive disorders that may be diagnosed during childhood and adolescence, and perspectives within developmental psychology have argued that it is part of a continuum as a diagnostic precursor to CD, and then APP later in life [see e.g., American Psychiatric Association, 2000; Loeber et al, 2002].…”

Does controlling for comorbidity matter? DSM‐oriented scales and violent offending in chicago youth

Mental health problems have long been linked to antisocial behaviors. Despite an impressive body of literature demonstrating this relationship and claims that comorbidity matters, few studies examine comorbidity using multiple distinct mental health indicators, with most studies instead adopting single or composite mental health measures. This study tested separate and comorbid effects of five DSM-oriented mental health issues on self-reported violence using a community-based sample of Chicago youths from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods. Moreover, it utilized both primary caregiver and youth self-reports of psychopathology across four developmental stages of childhood and adolescence. When examined separately, the results indicated affective/depressive, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity, and oppositional defiant/antisocial personality problems independently predicted violence. When considering comorbidity, however, only oppositional defiant and antisocial personality problems significantly predicted violence at any stage, regardless of informant type. Implications for future studies and policy are discussed.

“…Substance abuse may increase risk for APD because it increases exposure to deviant peers, increases the need to obtain money for substance use, and can impair decision making Loeber et al, 2003). Among adolescents attending outpatient mental health clinics, Loeber et al (2002) found that the association between marijuana use and the development of APD was stronger than the association between CD and the development of APD.Internalizing disorders have also been proposed to influence the development of APD. Several studies suggest that depression increases risk for developing APD (Bardone, Moffitt, Caspi, & Dickson, 1996;Loeber et al, 2002;Sourander et al, 2005).…”

Antisocial personality disorder (APD) is a serious public and mental health concern. Understanding how well conduct disorder (CD) and other mental disorders predict the development of APD among youth involved in the juvenile justice system is critical for prevention. This study used a stratified random sample of 1112 detained youth to examine the development of APD at a three-year followup interview. Nearly one fifth of male juvenile detainees later developed APD; approximately one quarter of male juvenile detainees with CD at baseline later developed APD. Significantly more males than females developed APD; no differences were found by race/ethnicity. Having five or more symptoms of CD, dysthymia, alcohol use disorder, or generalized anxiety disorder was significantly associated with developing modified APD (M-APD; APD without the CD requirement). Some disorders were strong predictors of APD; however, none were adequate screeners for identifying which detainees would later develop M-APD. The findings of this study have implications for interventions and further research in developmental psychopathology. Keywords conduct disorder; antisocial personality disorder; mental disorder; detained youth; longitudinal Persistent antisocial behavior places a heavy burden on the community, the justice system, and the public health system (Miller, Cohen, & Wiersema, 1996). Adults with antisocial personality disorder (APD) are likely to experience a range of problematic behaviors and outcomes: criminal and violent behavior, substance use, early death, divorce, unemployment, and homelessness (Black, Baumgard, Bell, & Kao, 1996;Hodgins & Cote, 1993;Jainchill, Hawke, & Yagelka, 2000;Robins, Tipp, & Przybeck, 1991;Westermeyer & Thuras, 2005).Corresponding Author: Jason J.

Considering the high social and financial costs associated with APD, identifying youth at risk for this disorder is critical for prevention (Loeber, Green, & Lahey, 2003;Offord, 2000).

Conduct disorder (CD) in childhood and adolescence is the factor most often associated with the development of APD (Abramowitz, Kosson, & Seiden...
