Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Antisocial behavior and substance dependence disorders exact a heavy financial and human cost on society. A better understanding of the mechanisms of familial transmission for these "externalizing" disorders is necessary to better understand their etiology and to help develop intervention strategies. OBJECTIVES: To determine the extent to which the family transmission of externalizing disorders is due...
