“…In this prison sample, there was a higher prevalence of adult ADHD (17%) compared to estimated prevalence of the disorder found in the general population (2%-3%; [33]). These higher rates support findings of previous studies in prisoners and individuals with substance use disorders (10%-29%; [34,35]). However, consistent with Grieger and Hosser, [28], Gordon et al (2014) [36] failed to find any statistically significant association between ADHD symptoms and convictions or breaches of prison discipline.…”

Background: Numerous studies investigate the rate of neurodevelopmental disorders in forensic populations. Studies have also investigated the rate of psychopathy in such settings. However, there appears to be a paucity of studies looking at both of these (co-morbidity between these disorders) and the possible relationships between the two in forensic populations. Method: Presented here are the findings from a systematic review conducted, following PRISMA guidelines, of the peer-reviewed literature. The review identified studies that investigated the rate and/or relationship of neurodevelopmental disorders (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Autism Spectrum Disorders) and psychopathy in a forensic sample population without relying on previous childhood diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders. Results: Twenty-two studies were identified which investigated the rate and/or relationship of neurodevelopmental disorders and psychopathy in a forensic sample population without relying on previous childhood diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorders. Conclusion: The findings highlight the need for the development of screening and diagnostic tools especially targeted at offenders and validated for this purpose.

Objective: Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often coincides with substance abuse and delinquency. A sample of opioid-maintained inmates was assessed for symptoms of ADHD, substance abuse history, types of offense, psychiatric comorbidities, and psychopharmacological treatment using a standardized battery of instruments. Method: Adult inmates (n = 133, mean age 35.7 years, 21.8% female) in opioid-maintenance therapy (OMT) were administered the Adult ADHD self-report scale, Wender Utah Rating Scale, Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, European Addiction Severity Index. Results: Fifty percent screened positive for childhood and 17% for adult ADHD, four (3.1%) received ADHD medication. Inmates with ADHD symptom status were significantly younger at first substance abuse, reported more drug overdoses, longer duration of cocaine and prescribed medication abuse and more in- and outpatient treatments (all p < 0.05). For all inmates in OMT a high rate of psychiatric comorbidities was observed (78.9%). Conclusion: There is a need for assessment of ADHD and other psychiatric comorbidities in OMT prisoners. Evidence-based treatment should be routinely provided.

“…Con respecto a la PD, se han encontrado prevalencias entre 6 y 43.3% (Baillargeon et al, 2010;Butler et al, 2011;Fazel & Seewald, 2012;Lukasiewicz et al, 2009). Entre los OTP más prevalentes en personas en prisión con TCS, se encuentran los trastornos de personalidad; destacan el trastorno antisocial de la personalidad, los trastornos psicóticos, de ansiedad, del estado de ánimo y por déficit de atención (Butler et al, 2011;Casares-López et al, 2010;Fazel & Baillargeon, 2011;Fazel & Danesh, 2002;Fazel & Seewald, 2012;Fazel & Yu, 2011;Lukasiewicz et al, 2009;Konstenius et al, 2015;Mundt et al, 2013). En la Tabla 2 se presentan algunos estudios observacionales específicos en patología dual en entornos penitenciarios.…”

“…Respecto a las diferencias en las prevalencias, resalta que mientras en reclusos hombres son más frecuentes los trastornos de ansiedad, psicóticos y antisocial de la personalidad, concurrentes con los trastornos por consumo de alcohol y por uso de cannabis, en las mujeres se presentan más los trastornos afectivos, de alimentación, por déficit de atención, de estrés postraumático y límite de la personalidad, concurrentes con el consumo de alcohol y estimulantes (Butler et al, 2011;Konstenius et al, 2015;Martínez-Lanz & Fernández Díaz, 2013;Zlotnick et al, 2008). Sobre diferencias de género en factores de riesgo, se ha visto que en hombres el abuso físico en la infancia predice más la PD, mientras que en las mujeres, el abuso sexual tiene un mayor valor predictivo (Villagrá et al, 2013).…”

RESUMENIntroducción: la patología dual se refiere a la concurrencia de un trastorno por consumo de sustancias con otro trastorno psiquiátrico. Estudios epidemiológicos en población general reportan una alta prevalencia de patología dual. Sin embargo, la información disponible sobre el tema en poblaciones especiales es limitada. Objetivo: revisar la evidencia disponible sobre la epidemiología, la atención y los aspectos relevantes para la salud pública acerca de la patología dual en las siguientes poblaciones especiales: personas en situación de indigencia, en prisión, con VIH, VHB y VHC, mujeres y adultos mayores. Método: búsqueda en bases de datos bibliográficos (PubMed, Science Direct, EBSCO y OVID) de reportes de investigación enfocados en la prevalencia y el tratamiento de patología dual en las poblaciones mencionadas. Resultados: la prevalencia de la patología dual se presenta de manera diferenciada en estas poblaciones, en comparación con la población general; además está altamente asociada con mayores tasas de morbilidad y mortalidad. La mayoría de los estudios específicos sobre patología dual y las poblaciones especiales, tanto de epidemiología como de tratamientos, se ha realizado en países de alto ingreso. Discusión y conclusiones: se requiere de políticas públicas que contemplen la medición epidemiológica de la patología dual en estas poblaciones, sobre todo en países de mediano y bajo ingreso, e incluyan intervenciones integradas adecuadas a las necesidades específicas de cada población.Palabras clave: patología dual; grupos minoritarios; epidemiología; revisión. ABSTRACTBackground: dual disorders is a term that refers to the co-occurrence of a substance use disorder with other mental disorders. Epidemiological studies have reported a high prevalence of dual disorders in the general population. However, information on dual disorders in special population is limited. Objective: to give an overview of the available evidence on the epidemiology, care and other relevant aspects for public health of dual disorders in the following special populations: homeless, prison inmates, people with sexually-transmitted infections, and the elderly. Method: search in peer-review publication databases (PubMed, Science Direct, EBSCO and OVID) for research reports on the epidemiology and treatment of dual pathology in the aforementioned populations. Results: prevalence of dual disorders in these populations appears to be different than in the general population; and it is highly associated with higher mortality and morbidity rates. The majority of studies aimed specifically on the epidemiology and treatment of dual disorders and special populations has been conducted in high-income countries. Discussion and conclusions: there is a need for public policies that consider the epidemiological assessment of dual disorders in special populations, specially in low-and middle-income countries, and include integrated care interventions adequate to the specific needs of each population.

An Epidemiological Study of ADHD, Substance Use, and Comorbid Problems in Incarcerated Women in Sweden

Abstract: The prevalence rate of ADHD in incarcerated women was high and comparable to that in male offenders. Illicit stimulant use and antisocial personality disorder were significantly more common in women with ADHD. ASRS is useful as a screener in this population.
