Disruptive behavior disorders: Multidimensional analysis

Résumé 0

"The study focuses on the analysis of the contribution of sociodemographic, clinical, academic and family variables to the likelihood of the presence of disruptive behaviour disorder (DBD). Ex post facto, retrospective, transversal, comparative study in two groups (cases of DBD and clinical controls) is used. Ages range 6 to 16 years. Sample of 1,847 clinical cases. Cases and controls are defined by clinical interview according to DSM-IV-TR criteria. A descriptive phase and an estimated logistic regression procedure are included. The proposed model is significant and correctly classified 87.2% of cases. The variables male sex (OR = 1.82, p = .00), comorbidity (OR = 7.68, p = .00), borderline intellectual functioning (OR = 3.15, p = .00), less educated mothers (OR = 1.57, p = .04) and repeat the course (OR = 2, p = .00), significantly increased the probability for DBD. The variables age, psychiatric history, divorced parents and fathers' educational level are not significant in the model. DBD has multidimensional association with clinical, academic and family variables, being eligible for the inclusion in prevention programs."
