  1. Development of Disruptive Behavior Disorders: Implications for Prevention & Treatment Marcia Jensen, Ph.D., NCSP 3/2/2010 jens0692@umn.edu

  2. Plan for Presentation • What are Disruptive Behavior Disorders? • Why are DBD problematic? • What causes DBD? • Who has DBD? • What are implications for prevention & treatment of DBD?

  3. What are Disruptive Behavior Disorders? • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder • Oppositional Defiant Disorder • Conduct Disorder • Disruptive Behavior Disorder, NOS

  4. Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) • ADHD-I: > 6 symptoms of inattention occurring often for 6+ months causing significant impairment in social, academic, or occupational fxning • ADHD-H-I: > 6 symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity for 6+ months causing significant impairment • ADHD-C: > 6 symptoms of inattention & > 6 symptoms of hyperactivity-impulsivity with impairment • Below developmental level and some symptoms before age 7

  5. Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) • > 4 criteria occurring often for 6+ months causing significant impairment in social, academic, or occupational fxning • Loses temper • Argues with adults • Actively defies/refuses to comply with adults’ requests/rules • Deliberately annoys people • Blames others for own mistakes/behavior • Touchy/easily annoyed by others • Angry/resentful • Spiteful/vindictive

  6. Conduct Disorder (CD) • > 3 criteria occurring in 12 months, > 1 in past 6 months causing significant impairment in social, academic, or occupational fxning • Aggression to people/animals • Often bullies, threatens, or intimidates others • Often initiates physical fights • Used a weapon than can cause serious physical harm to others • Has been physically cruel to people • Has been physically cruel to animals • Stolen with confrontation • Forced someone into sexual activity • Destruction of property • Fire setting with intent to cause serious damage • Destruction of property other than fire setting • Deceitfulness or theft • Broken into someone’s house, building, or car • Often lies to obtain goods/favors (i.e., cons others) • Stolen items of nontrivial value without confrontation • Serious violations of rules • Stays out all night despite parent prohibition (before age 13) • Run away from home overnight > twice or once for lengthy period • Often truant (before age 13) • Childhood onset if > 1 symptom prior to age 10; Adolescent onset if no criteria before 10; Unspecified if age of onset unknown

  7. Why are DBD problematic? • High association with comorbid psychiatric diagnosis • High association with negative life course outcomes

  8. Comorbidity of DBD Ollendick et al., 2008

  9. Life Course Outcomes of DBD • Higher rates of violence, arrest/conviction, substance abuse/dependence, unemployment • Poor school performance, low educational attainment • Problems with peers, social isolation • Mental & physical health problems • Violent, coercive parenting • Children with problem behaviors • De Genna et al., 2007; Farrington, 1991; Jaffee et al., 2006; Offord & Bennett, 1994; Offord, Boyle, & Racine, 1991; Temcheff et al., 2008

  10. What Causes DBD? • Physiological influences • Genes • Temperament • Neurological functioning • Environmental influences • Risk factors • Protective factors

  11. Developmental Trajectory of Self-Control

  12. Theories on Developmental Trajectory of Aggressive Behavior • 2 pathways to later criminality • Early onset; life-course persistent • Later onset; adolescence-limited • Patterson, DeBaryshe, Ramsey, 1989; Moffitt, 1993 • 5 pathways • 2 life-course persistent groups • Early onset w/ ADHD • Middle childhood onset w/o ADHD • 2 limited duration aggression groups • High aggression subsides in middle childhood • ‘’ late teens • 1 late onset group • Loeber & Stouthamer-Loeber, 1998

  13. Developmental Trajectory & Outcomes Schaeffer et al., 2003

  14. Genetic Biomarkers of DBD? • Genetic studies evaluate main effects of genes (G), environment (E), and GxE interactions • Conclusive evidence of main effects for E • Some evidence of main effects for G • Within serotonin & dopamine transmitting systems, but far from definitive markers to reliably diagnose or predict treatment outcomes • Some evidence of interaction effects for GxE • Polymorphism on MAOA gene moderates impact of childhood maltreatment Moffitt et al., 2008

  15. Gender Differences in DBD • Few differences in rate of conduct problems during infancy/toddlerhood • Males exhibit more conduct problems than females between the ages of 4 & 13 and post-puberty • Smaller differences between males & females around puberty • Males more likely to be on LCP trajectory; similar prevalence for AL trajectory • Lahey et al., 2006

  16. Gender Differences in DBD • Differences in early childhood conduct problems may be result of differential socializing responses from adults • Keenan & Shaw, 1997 • Differential response patterns by males & females to same experience • Girls shift from physical to relational aggression • Crick & Zahn-Waxler, 2003 • Insufficient evidence to create female-specific diagnostic criteria for CD • Moffitt et al., 2008

  17. Synthesis of Developmental Models • DBD associated with increased risk for negative life-course outcomes • LCP = psychopathology & is relatively uncommon (3-16%) • Worst prognosis for high stable aggression, problems associated with low & moderate stable aggression • LCP vs. AL model applies to males and females, but DBD & LCP more prevalent in males • Trajectory determined by a combination of genetic & environmental influences • There may be both main effects & interaction effects for G & E influences

  18. Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theory

  19. Risk & Protective Factors

  20. Risk & Protective Factors Bloomquist & Schnell, 2002

  21. Social Information Processing Theory PEER EVALUATION & RESPONSE Database Adapted from Crick & Dodge, 1994

  22. Social Info Processing & Aggression • Hostile attribution bias: aggressive children more likely to attribute hostile intent to neutral interactions; linked to reactive aggression • Deficits in response selection: aggressive children generate fewer responses, have & choose more aggressive & less prosocial responses • ≈ 40% of children have SIP problems, boys and African Americans at greater risk • Lansford et al., 2006

  23. Who has DBD? • Children of delinquent parents • Children of substance abusing parents • Low SES associated with increased risk for DBD • Racial/ethnic differences not observed when SES controlled • More prevalent in boys than girls; boys age 14-17 have steeper increase in delinquent behavior than girls • Girls may manifest in different ways (e.g., relational aggression) Note: These statements are summarized from data presented across many studies.

  24. Prevention & Treatment • Universal • Entire population prior to onset; $ • Selected • At-risk population; $$ • Indicated/Intensive • High risk individuals showing early warning signs; $$$ • Treatment/recurrence prevention • Individuals who have already demonstrated problem to reduce symptoms/recurrence; $$$$

  25. Effective Prevention Strategies • Should be based on theory about developmental course of a condition • Analyze problem • Develop intervention to enhance protective factors or minimize risk factors • Test, evaluate, & refine • Dumka et al., 1995

  26. Why DBD are a good candidate for prevention? • We have a lot of information about developmental trajectories, risk, & protective factors • Largely influenced by environmental factors • Many, expensive, negative life-course outcomes associated with DBD

  27. Prevention of DBD through RTI Logic Level IV Special Education IEP Determination HIGH Level III Intensive Interventions Level II Selected Interventions Intensity of Treatment Level I Universal Interventions LOW Degree of Unresponsiveness to Intervention HIGH

  28. Targeted/ Intensive (High-risk students) Individual Interventions (3-5%) Selected (At-risk Students) Classroom & Small Group Strategies (10-20% of students) Multiple Tiers of Behavior Support Universal (All Students) Schoolwide, Culturally Relevant Systems of Support (75-85% of students) Adapted from: Sprague & Walker, 2004

  29. Tier 3 Menu: • Assessment-based Behavior Intervention Plan • Replacement Behavior Training IN AN IDEAL WORLD: Menu of a continuum of evidence-based supports Targeted/ Intensive (High-risk students) Individual Interventions (3-5%) • Tier 2 Menu: • Behavioral Contracting • Self Monitoring • School-Home Note • Mentor-Based Program • Differential Reinforcement • Positive Peer Reporting Selected (At-risk Students) Classroom & Small Group Strategies (10-20% of students) • Tier I Menu: • Schoolwide PBS • SEL Curriculum • Good Behavior Game • Proactive Classroom • Management Universal (All Students) School/classwide, Culturally Relevant Systems of Support (75-85% of students)

  30. Tier 1 for All: Recommended Complementary Services • Schoolwide Positive Behavior Support • Teach, model, and reinforce behavioral expectations in all settings • Social Emotional Learning Curriculum • Teach self-regulatory behaviors and expose students to big picture concepts • Peer Mediation Program • Teach students to reduce interpersonal conflict through mediation strategies • Proactive Classroom Management • Seating, rules, instructional activities, transitions, proactive strategy • Good Behavior Game • Classroom-based behavior management system

  31. Good Behavior Game as “Behavioral Vaccine” • Provides an inoculation against the development of physical, mental or behavior disorders • e.g., antiseptic hand washing to reduce childbed fever • High need for low-cost, widespread strategy as simple as antiseptic hand washing • Little time and effort = high likelihood of use Embry, 2002

  32. Good Behavior Game • Short term benefits: Improved discipline practices by teacher, decreased discipline problems, more behavioral success • Longer term benefits: Decreased smoking, substance abuse/dependence, reduced risk of development of mental health problems & later arrest • Practical considerations: Need for adoption by school personnel; monitoring & mentoring to insure effective delivery & positive outcomes; cost per child/year ≈ $200 • Estimated cost/year to deliver to all 1st & 2nd graders in WY: $1,000,000 • Anticipated savings due to reduced special education placements (5%), legal problems (2%), substance use (4%): $15-20,000,000

  33. Tier 2 for Some: Evidence-Based Interventions • Behavioral contracting • Self-monitoring • Systematic school-home note system • Mentor-based support (e.g., Check & Connect; BEP) • Differential reinforcement procedures • Positive peer reporting • Group contingencies • Social skills training • Multicomponent prevention program: Early Risers

  34. Early Risers • Description: • Program implemented in multiple settings • Child Skills: Weekly group to develop social skills & reading enrichment • Child Monitoring & Mentoring: Systematic monitoring of child’s academic/school functioning, goal setting/attainment strategies, reading enrichment, teacher consultation, & facilitating involvement of parents around school issues • Family Skills: Parent-focused education & skills training to enhance parent’s knowledge of child development and effective parenting strategies with special parent-child “bonding” activities • Family Support: Tailored monitoring of family functioning, goal setting/attainment strategies, assisting families in accessing community services, & intensive parent skills training

  35. Early Risers • Short-term benefits: • Child improvements on academic and social/behavioral measures (greatest for most aggressive youth) • Parent improvements in disciplinary practices • Longer-term benefits: • Fewer symptoms of ODD for ER participants • Practical considerations: • Requires extensive training, technical assistance, oversight, and resources • Parent participation & level of treatment fidelity must be sufficient to achieve positive outcomes. • Cost per child/year ≈ $1750 (w/out cost of training & technical assistance included) August et al., 2002; Bernat et al., 2007; Bloomquist et al., 2008

  36. Tier 3 for a Few: Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) -Based Supports • Examination of progress monitoring data • FBA-based support • Conduct FBA to identify variables maintaining problem behavior • Alter environmental contingencies surrounding problem behavior • Weekly Replacement Behavior Training

  37. Off the Pyramid, Tier 3 and Beyond: Specialized Supports for Persistent Non-responders • Special Education evaluation • Wraparound services pursued • Increase intensity of services

  38. Treatments for DBD • Parent and family skills training • Multisystemic therapy • Residential Treatment • Jail

  39. Parent & Family Skills Training • Description: • Parent training about effective commands, contingent reinforcement, differential attention, & time out; persistent & consistent implementation improve outcomes • Use modeling, role play, practice, & feedback in session • Specific CBT for youth targeting maladaptive social cognitive processes, improving anger control, social skills, & problem solving

  40. Parent & Family Skills Training • Short-term benefits: • Reduce coercive interactions between parent & child • Consistent & effective responses to child’s behaviors • Longer-term benefits: • Reduced aggression/conduct problems • Lower parent stress & increased parental sense of self-efficacy • Practical considerations: • Need to establish good relationship with family & provide structure when teaching skills • Harder to engage families with higher number of problems • May need to begin with motivational interviewing • >$1500 for 10 sessions of therapy Bloomquist & Schnell, 2002; Offord & Bennett, 1994

  41. Parent & Family Skills Training Topics • Child Behavioral Development • Teaching a child to obey • Teaching a child to follow rules • Teaching a child to avoid dishonest behavior • Child Social Development • Teaching a child social behavior skills • Teaching a child social problem solving skills • Teaching a child to cope with bullies • Promoting positive peer affiliations

  42. Parent & Family Skills Training Topics • Child Emotional Development • Teaching a child to understand & express feelings • Teaching a child to think helpful thoughts • Teaching a child to deal with stress • Promoting a child’s self-esteem • Child Academic Development • Helping a child appreciate and enjoy reading • Teaching a child self-directed academic behavior skills • Being involved in your child’s schooling

  43. Parent & Family Skills Training Topics • Parent Well-Being • Improving parent stress management techniques • Staying calm with a stressful child • Changing unhelpful parent thoughts • Family Relationships • Improving the parent-child bond • Improving family interactions • Developing family routings & rituals Bloomquist, 2006, 2010
