  • Title: Prevalence of DSM-III conduct and adjustment disorders for adolescent psychiatric inpatients.
    Author: Faulstich ME, Moore JR, Carey MP, Ruggiero L, Gresham F.
    Journal: Adolescence; 1986; 21(82):333-7. PubMed ID: 3739828.
    Abstract:
    The prevalence of DSM-III conduct and adjustment disorders in two adolescent psychiatric facilities, both located near large U.S. cities, was investigated. Overall, 31.6% of the adolescent inpatients were conduct disordered while 12.5% were adjustment disordered. The conduct disorders were primarily "aggressive" subtypes suggesting that this characteristic may influence hospitalization and diagnostic decisions. Such data on prevalence assists future treatment planning, allowing anticipation of case loads.
