Conduct disorder, substance dependence, and adolescent motherhood.
Zoccolillo, Mark; Meyers, Jane; Assiter, Shanna
Of 26 teenage mothers in a nonclinical sample, one-third were found to have a diagnosis of conduct disorder; of these, two-thirds were also diagnosed with substance abuse or dependence. Conduct disorder as a risk factor for adolescent pregnancy and substance abuse is discussed, as are the implications for preventive intervention.
