title: Study of prevalence of Personality Disorders in inmate men sample with Substance Use Disorders using of PDQ-4+ Self-Report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The study focused on examining the prevalence of Personality Disorders (PD) in 51 male inmates diagnosed with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) lifetime within a specialized unit at a prison.
  
  
  METHODS
  The instruments administered included the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Axis I and the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-4+.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The type of crime most frequently committed by the incarcerated was the robbery (76.5%), including robbery with violence. 45.1% of the patients screened positive for Antisocial PD, followed by 35.3% for Paranoid and 23.5% for Obsessive Compulsive PD. The results reflect a male inmate sample exhibiting a clinical profile characterized by SUDs and PD, with almost half of the total sample presenting Antisocial PD.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The presence of Antisocial and Paranoid PD with SUD suggests a more complex personality profile, with a tendency to carry out more aggressive crimes, including robbery with violence. A more comprehensive PD assessment should be carried out in prison settings in order to identify dangerous individuals who are at risk of recidivism.
