ABSTRACT

Objective:

to determine the incidence and associations of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), conduct disorder (CD), and substance abuse disorder (SAD) in adolescents in conflict with the law in a Brazilian cohort.

Methods:

the Brazilian version of the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Aged-Children (K-SADS-PL) was administered to 69 adolescent boys who were incarcerated for 45 days in the city of Curitiba, Brazil.

Results:

mean age was 15.5 years (range, 12-16.9 years) and most adolescents originated from disadvantaged social classes (87%). They resided in neighborhoods on the outskirts of the city or towns in the greater metropolitan area. Truancy and low educational achievement were common, with 73.9% not currently attending school and 43.4% not having finished the 5th grade. The great majority lived in single-parent families and many had relatives who themselves had problems with the law. Psychiatric disorders were apparent in 81.1% of the subjects, with the most common disorders being CD (59.4%), SAD (53.6%), and ADHD (43.5%). Both ADHD (p <0.001) and CD (p <0.01) had significant associations with substance abuse.

Conclusion:

in male adolescents in conflict with the law, ADHD, CD, and SAD were all found to be associated with delinquency. .
RESUMO

Objetivo:

determinar a incidência e a associação entre transtorno de déficit de atenção e hiperatividade (TDAH), transtorno de conduta (TC) e transtorno de abuso de substâncias (TAS) em adolescentes brasileiros em conflito com a lei.

Métodos:

a versão brasileira do Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Aged-Children (K-SADS-PL) foi aplicada em 69 adolescentes do sexo masculino, encarcerados por 45 dias na cidade de Curitiba, Brasil.

Resultados:

a média de idade foi de 15,5 anos (variação 12 a 16,9 anos ) e a maioria dos adolescentes (87%) era procedente de classes sociais desfavorecidas e residia em bairros na periferia da cidade ou cidades da região metropolitana. Evasão escolar e baixo rendimento escolar foram comuns. Ao todo, 73,9% não frequentavam a escola e 43,4% não concluíram a 5ª série. A grande maioria vivia em famílias monoparentais e muitos tinham parentes de primeiro grau também com problemas com a lei. 81,1% dos adolescentes apresentaram problemas psiquiátricos, e os transtornos mais comuns foram TC (59,4%), TAS (53,6%) e TDAH (43,5%). Nos adolescentes, tanto com TDAH (p < 0,001) quanto com TC (p < 0,01), houve associação significativa com abuso de substâncias.

Conclusão:

em adolescentes do sexo masculino em conflito com a lei, houve uma associação significativa de TDAH e TC com TAS. .
