Abstract
Of 26 teenage mothers in a nonclinical sample, one-third were found to have a diagnosis of conduct disorder; of these, two-thirds were also diagnosed with substance abuse or dependence. Conduct disorder as a risk factor for adolescent pregnancy and substance use is discussed, as are the implications for preventive intervention.Entities:
