The purpose of this analysis is to examine the relationship between current problem gambling and current conduct disorder.
Data were analyzed for a U.S. national survey of respondents aged 14-21 years.
A strong co-morbidity between current problem gambling and current conduct disorder was found. However, this co-morbidity was much stronger among younger respondents, declined in strength with increasing age, and was absent among the oldest respondents. Further analyses showed that early-onset problem gamblers had a higher risk for conduct disorder than late-onset problem gamblers.
Gambling problems that emerge early are likely to be part of a general pattern of problem behavior, whereas gambling problems that emerge later may have an etiology unique to gambling.
本分析旨在研究当前赌博问题与当前品行障碍之间的关系。
对美国一项针对 14-21 岁受访者的全国性调查进行了数据分析。
发现当前赌博问题与当前品行障碍之间存在很强的共病关系。然而,这种共病在年轻受访者中更为强烈,随着年龄的增长而强度下降,在最年长的受访者中则不存在。进一步的分析表明,早期发病的问题赌徒比晚期发病的问题赌徒患品行障碍的风险更高。
早期出现的赌博问题可能是一般问题行为模式的一部分,而较晚出现的赌博问题可能具有独特的赌博病因。
