OBJECTIVE: We identified gender differences in psychiatric disorders among youths at probation intake. METHODS: We measured disorders with the Voice Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children among 991 randomly selected youths (200 girls) at probation intake in 8 Texas counties. Logistic regression analyses predicted diagnostic clusters by gender, adjusting for demographics and offense characteristics. RESULTS: Demographic and offense characteristics explained small but interpretable and specific variance in diagnostic profile. Girls' rates of anxiety and affective disorders were higher than boys' (odds ratios = 0.59 and 0.32, respectively). Girls with violent offenses, compared with other groups, were 3 to 5 times as likely to report anxiety disorders. CONCLUSIONS: Among youths with conduct problems, girls demonstrated an elevated risk for co-occurring anxiety or affective disorder.
