It found that childhood conduct problems were associated with non-violent offenses and substance use in adolescence, but not with physically violent offenses or deviant lifestyle. Moreover, children with conduct problems before the age of 10 were more likely to meet the diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder in adolescence.

Summary: This study investigates the link between callous-unemotional traits and intelligence, using the full version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-4th Edition (WISC-IV). The results demonstrate that callous-unemotional traits are associated with lower verbal comprehension scores. Additionally, there is no interaction between callous-unemotional traits and externalizing problems in predicting intelligence.

The study found that alterations of cortisol stress response in ADHD were less pronounced compared to CD and MDD, and were primarily driven by comorbidity with disruptive behavior disorders such as CD and ODD.

Summary: This study explores the association between child mental health and school exclusion and truancy, considering both conduct and emotional problems as predictors and outcomes. The results show that an increase in conduct problems and emotional symptoms is associated with later school exclusion and truancy. Emotional symptoms predict truancy, while conduct problems are only associated with school exclusion. Both exclusion and truancy lead to an increase in conduct problems, while exclusion also leads to an increase in emotional symptoms.
