    Study Notes

    Childhood Behavior Disorders

    • Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD): Characterized by age-inappropriate patterns of stubbornness, hostility, and defiance, typically emerging by age 8. Severe behaviors negatively affect parent-child interactions.
    • Conduct Disorder (CD): Involves persistent patterns of severe aggression and antisocial behaviors. More common in boys, especially with childhood-onset emerging before age 10, displaying aggressive symptoms.
    • Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD): Developed often from CD, it manifests as chronic disregard for others' rights, illegal behavior, and lack of empathy. A subset of CD children may show extreme antisocial features.

    Key Differences between ODD and CD

    • Most children with ODD do not progress to CD; nearly half of CD cases lack prior ODD diagnosis.
    • Adolescent-onset CD may occur equally in boys and girls, being less severe than childhood-onset with fewer violent acts.

    Associated Characteristics of Conduct Problems

    • Common cognitive and verbal deficits in children with conduct problems.
    • Co-occurring ADHD is frequent, with children facing academic challenges and low self-esteem.
    • Issues with motor coordination and speech/language impairments are prevalent.
    • Health-related issues linked to ADHD include asthma, sleep disturbances, and impulsivity-related accidents.

    ADHD Overview

    • Prevalence in North America is approximately 6-7% in school-age children. Globally, about 5%.
    • More frequently diagnosed in boys, while girls often exhibit inattentive symptoms.
    • Early symptoms (hyperactivity, impulsivity) are noticeable by ages 3-4.

    Conduct Problems and their Implications

    • Conduct problems entail actions violating family, societal, or personal rights, with diverse causes and outcomes.
    • Accounting for about 50% of crime in the U.S., early persistent antisocial behavior occurs in approximately 5% of children.
    • Costs associated with youth violence are around $10,000 annually per child.

    Treatment and Prevention Strategies

    • Parent Management Training (PMT): Enhances parent-child interactions focusing on positive behavior and reducing antisocial actions.
    • Problem-Solving Skills Training (PSST): Teaches children to assess situations and improve sensitivity in social contexts.
    • Multisystemic Therapy (MST): Targets family dynamics for improving youth behavior.
    • Preventive interventions like Incredible Years and Fast Track aim to mitigate escalation of conduct problems in at-risk children.
    • Conduct problems may lead to anxiety or depression, particularly in adolescence.
    • Family dynamics often involve conflict, lack of support, and poor parenting practices.
    • Children exhibiting conduct problems are at higher risks for health issues and may have unstable self-perceptions.

    Gender Differences in Conduct Problems

    • Higher prevalence of conduct problems in boys, with early manifestations usually including aggression and theft; in girls, symptoms may involve sexual misconduct.
    • Genetic, neurobiological, and environmental factors contribute to observed gender differences, along with varying definitions of conduct problem behaviors.
