Chunk #15 — Results — Effects of Childhood Disorders on Subsequent Substance Use Disorders — Childhood ADHD and Conduct Disorder-- Effects on SUD Outcome
Having a diagnosis of childhood Conduct Disorder resulted in an earlier onset for Alcohol Abuse or Dependence, Drug Abuse or Dependence, and increased the risk for all four conditions (Alcohol Abuse, Alcohol Dependence, Drug Abuse, Drug Dependence) or SUD (Tables 4a, 4b, 4c). Controlling for the gender of the offspring did not alter this relationship indicating that Conduct Disorder in girls as well as boys is associated with earlier development of SUD (Wald = 48.46, df =1, p =<0.001).
