The clinical course of ASPD and AABS within the EA, AA, and AI samples was investigated using CD/antisocial behaviors derived from the SSAGA. We evaluated the relationship of each participant’s self-reported sex and racial group to DSM-IV criteria for either CD/ASPD diagnoses or criteria for an AABS syndrome (i.e., meet criteria for adult ASPD but not childhood CD). For each of these sets of analyses, the endorsement of having experienced each of the 29 events as well as the age at first occurrence of 21 of these events were tabulated. Comparisons of the number of events endorsed, their age of onset, and whether those numbers differed across subgroups were evaluated using the chi-square test, ANOVA (age of onset), and logistic regression controlling for age, education and income when these variables were significantly different between the groups compared in the analyses. After describing the pattern of appearance of problems for all participants, the similarity in the retrospective reports of the age of first appearance of problems was compared utilizing Spearman's rank order correlation (rho), which measures the degree of similarity of
