Antisocial personality disorder (APD) is a serious public and mental health concern. Understanding how well conduct disorder (CD) and other mental disorders predict the development of APD among youth involved in the juvenile justice system is critical for prevention. This study used a stratified random sample of 1112 detained youth to examine the development of APD at a three-year followup interview. Nearly one fifth of male juvenile detainees later developed APD; approximately one quarter of male juvenile detainees with CD at baseline later developed APD. Significantly more males than females developed APD; no differences were found by race/ethnicity. Having five or more symptoms of CD, dysthymia, alcohol use disorder, or generalized anxiety disorder was significantly associated with developing modified APD (M-APD; APD without the CD requirement). Some disorders were strong predictors of APD; however, none were adequate screeners for identifying which detainees would later develop M-APD. The findings of this study have implications for interventions and further research in developmental psychopathology.

Conduct disorder (CD) in childhood and adolescence is the factor most often associated with the development of APD (Abramowitz, Kosson, & Seiden...

“…In addition, female community treatment participants report higher rates of mood disorders, phobias, panic disorder, and obsessivecompulsive disorder, when compared to men (Compton et al, 2000). Findings about the prevalence of mental health issues among substance-using women have been consistently noted for female substance users across treatment modalities, including inpatient and outpatient substance abuse treatment (McCance-Katz, Carroll, & Rounsaville, 1999), therapeutic communities (Jainchill, Hawke, & Yagelka, 2000), methadone treatment (Chatham et al, 1999;Rowan-Szal et al, 2000), and multiple community treatment modalities (Compton et al, 2000). Co-occurring disorders of substance abuse and mental health also are common and consistently noted among females in the criminal justice system (Messina et al, 2006;Pelissier et al, 2003;Peters et al, 1997;Sacks, 2004;Sheridan, 1996).…”

This article describes the independent correlates of preincarceration community substance abuse treatment utilization for male and female offenders currently participating in prison-based treatment. As part of the National Institute on Drug Abuse-funded Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies cooperative agreement, this protocol was implemented by four collaborating research centers. Males with a history of treatment utilization were more likely to be older, to have used crack, and to have had a greater number of arrests, and they were less likely to be arrested for a violent charge. Females with previous treatment were more likely to have been hospitalized for a health condition and were significantly more likely to have lived with someone else before prison rather than in their own home. These findings suggest that factors associated with preincarceration treatment utilization differ by gender, which may have important implications for correctionalbased treatment assessment, reentry planning, and transitional case management. Keywordsgender; treatment utilization; offenders; substance use Drug use is a growing problem among incarcerated males and females in the United States, as evidenced by national surveys that found that 83% of state prisoners reported past drug and alcohol use and that 56% reported using drugs and alcohol in the month before their offense (Mumola & Karberg, 2006). This survey also found that more than half of state (Mumola & Karberg, 2006). In addition, arrestee data from the Arrestee Drug Abuse Monitoring system indicated that more than a third (37%) of male arrestees and female arrestees (36%) in major U.S. urban cities reported frequent use of illicit drugs during the 30 days before their arrest (Zhang, 2003). Despite the growing number of incarcerated individuals with substance abuse problems, there are a limited number of drug abuse treatment programs for individuals in the U.S. criminal justice system. Although more than 80% of offenders are substance users, fewer than half (40%) reported participating in any type of drug or alcohol treatment or related program when they were incarcerated (Mumola & Karberg, 2006). HHS Public AccessThus, with the increased number of offenders with substance abuse problems and the limitations of correctional service opportunities, there is increasing concern to understand ways to improve treatment opportunities for offenders in institutional settings and during the transition to the community. An important step in this process is to understand factors associated with offender community treatment utilization before being incarcerated. These factors are important to consider in a prison sample because the utilization of community substance abuse treatment is likely an important indicator of the severity of a substance abuse problem and the need for treatment, as considered in correctional treatment assessment and intake. These factors are also important to consider by gender because a number of studies have highlighted the unique treatmen...

The BIOMED II ‘Improving Psychiatric Treatment in Residential Programmes for Emerging Dependency Groups’ project provided a relatively large sample (n = 863) of men (77%) and women (23%) in therapeutic community treatment in nine European countries. This paper’s aim is to search for gender differences in profiles of therapeutic community clients on the basis of the different areas of functioning of the EuropASI. A binary logistic regression model was used to avoid the confounding effects of country and age. Our findings confirm what is found in the American literature: compared to men, women have a much worse profile in various areas of functioning when entering treatment. In response, they may require a gender-adapted set of therapeutic interventions at the moment they enter treatment.
