Developmental pathways in oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder.

Text

Dimensional measures of oppositionality, conduct problems, hyperactivity, anxiety and depression based on DSM-IV symptom counts were also employed. We also formed scales of aggressive conduct problems (based on the first 7 CD symptoms listed in DSM-IV) and non-aggressive conduct problems (based on the last 8 DSM-IV CD symptoms). Adult diagnoses were made according to relevant DSM-IV formulations. We used a symptom count to index ASPD because the full disorder was very rarely endorsed (.7%). This symptom count did not include the CD history criterion to avoid predictor/outcome overlap.
