Behavioural and cognitive characteristics of conduct disordered-hyperactive boys from age 6 to 11: a multiple informant perspective.
Three subgroups of kindergarten boys (stable conduct disordered-hyperactive (SCDH), stable conduct disordered (SCD), stable non-deviant control (SC)) were defined and followed up three, four and five years later in primary school. Using assessments from multiple informants (teachers, mothers, peers, self), the results showed that SCDH boys were more hyperactive (i.e. overactive/inattentive) and displayed a greater diversity of conduct problems in school and home at follow-up compared to the other groups. These results and the fact that during early adolescence SCDH boys tend to develop a worse prognosis than SCD boys suggest that they should be distinguished.
