Abstract Details

2018, MS, University of Cincinnati, Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services: Health Education.
An estimated 3% to 5% of adolescents are annually diagnosed with conduct disorder (CD), making conduct disorder a pressing mental health concern. The present study examined specific neighborhood and community characteristics associated with youth conduct disorder. A secondary analysis of the 2011-2012 National Survey of Children’s Health was conducted. Results from the final multivariate logistic regression model revealed that neighborhoods without parks or playgrounds, libraries or bookmobiles, litter or garbage on the sidewalks, vandalism, not being on to count on others in neighborhoods, and perceived child safety were all significant risk factors for youth conduct disorder. Implications of these findings and future strategies for preventing conduct disorder are discussed.
