OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the rates and patterns of comorbidity between behavioral syndromes in adolescents as reported by parents and teachers. Whether the patterns of comorbidity were "epiphenomenal" was also assessed. METHOD: Parents of 854 randomly selected students (response rate = 88%) in Taipei in 1996 completed the Child Behavior Checklist; among them, 240 also were randomly selected to have the Teacher's Report Form completed by their teachers. In addition to bidirectional comorbidity rates, odds ratios with and without other comorbid pairs controlled for were estimated via multiple logistic regressions. RESULTS: High comorbidity rates between behavioral syndromes were found in adolescents as reported both by parents and teachers except for that of Somatic Complaints with other syndromes. When other comorbidity pairs were controlled for, the comorbidity rates between Anxious/Depressed with externalizing syndromes turned out to be epiphenomenal, whereas those between externalizing syndromes remained high for both informants' reports. Attention Problems also remained significantly comorbid with other syndromes in the multiple logistic regressions except for that of Aggressive Behavior in the Teacher's Report Form sample. CONCLUSION: High comorbidity rates between adolescent behavioral syndromes exist in both parents' and teachers' reports, and it is important to control for the epiphenomenal condition when assessing such comorbidity rates. |
