View/ Open
Abstract
The prevalence of conduct disorder was assessed in 77 young people in 4 juvenile detention centres in the United Arab Emirates [UAE]. The prevalence of conduct disorder was 24.7%, and recidivism, as indicated by repeat admissions to the centres, was found to be associated with conduct disorder. Having a diagnosis of conduct disorder was associated with a lower educational and occupational level of the father, as well as living with a single parent or relatives. Among UAE nationals, conduct disorder was also associated with having a mother who was a non-UAE nationalCitation
