目的：这是 2000 年至 2003 年间进行的一项研究的两篇相关文章中的第一篇，该研究旨在评估两个波多黎各儿童群体中破坏性行为障碍的患病率、相关合并症和相关性：一个在波多黎各圣胡安和卡瓜斯标准大都市区，另一个在纽约市南布朗克斯区。方法：本文提供了研究的背景、设计和方法。在两个地点抽取了 5 至 13 岁儿童的概率样本 (n = 2,491)。使用儿童诊断访谈时间表 IV 和一系列危险因素测量对受试者及其主要照顾者进行访谈。对样本进行加权，以纠正样本设计导致的选择概率差异，并调整与 2000 年美国人口普查中年龄/性别分布的差异。结果：样本代表了布朗克斯南部和波多黎各标准大都市区的波多黎各儿童群体。在被确定符合该研究资格的 2,940 名儿童中，有 2,491 名儿童参与，总体达标率为 85%。结论：将在随附报告中描述的研究结果可推广到两个目标人群。
Objective: This is the first of two related articles on a study carried out between 2000 and 2003 designed to assess the prevalence, associated comorbidities, and correlates of disruptive behavior disorders in two populations of Puerto Rican children: one in the Standard Metropolitan Areas of San Juan and Caguas in Puerto Rico, and the other in the south Bronx in New York City. Method: This article provides the study's background, design, and methodology. Probability samples of children ages 5 to 13 years were drawn at the two sites (n = 2,491). Subjects and their primary caretakers were interviewed using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children-IV and a wide array of risk factor measures. The samples were weighted to correct for differences in the probability of selection resulting from sample design and to adjust for differences from the 2000 U.S. Census in the age/gender distribution. Results: The samples are representative of the populations of Puerto Rican children in the south Bronx and in the Standard Metropolitan Areas in Puerto Rico. Of the 2,940 children identified as eligible for the study, 2,491 participated for an overall compliance rate of 85%. Conclusions: The study results, to be described in an accompanying report, are generalizable to the two target populations.
