DESCRIPTION (Adapted from applicant's abstract): The proposed longitudinal study of psychopathology compares the development, the comorbidities and the risk factors of disruptive disorders and antisocial behaviors (ASB) in Puerto Rican children and adolescents in Puerto Rico (P.R.) and the mainland U.S. Previous studies have shown that rates of ASB among children and adolescents are lower in P.R. than on the mainland U.S., even when rates in P.R. are compared to rates among mainland Hispanics. Existing developmental studies of ASB have never included any Hispanic group in sufficient numbers to assess features in the development of ASB that may be characteristic in these minorities. The study uses cohort sequential design to describe the development of ASB in Puerto Rican youth in the South Bronx in New York City and the San Juan Metropolitan Area in Puerto Rico. Probability samples of boys and girls aged 5 through 13 years will be obtained (N=1,575) at each site (Total N=3,150) and followed over three waves to examine whether differences in rates among Puerto Rican children at these two sites are explained by differences in the age of onset, in the severity and persistence, and in the associated risk factors of ASB. The study will assess the comorbidities of ASB and conduct problems in this population cross-sectionally and whether the sequencing over time between ASB and its comorbid conditions differs between island and mainland Puerto Rico children. Particular emphasis will be placed on the comorbidity with substance use and abuse and on the role of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in increasing the risk for the development of ASB and its persistence. The study will also evaluate the association between individual, family, peer, and community factors and the development of ASB in each setting. Among the risk and protective factors to be examined are possible cultural determinants, such as strong familial attachments (familism), parental and neighborhood monitoring, and type and level of acculturation. The study is unique in several ways. It assesses the development of antisocial behaviors in both boys and girls as a function of the characteristics of different settings (the island vs. The mainland). It applies the same design to study members of a single Hispanic minority in their native environment as well as in the country to which they have migrated, providing a quasi-natural experiment that will permit an assessment of the influence of settings, culturals factors and cultural change on the development of ASB and delinquency in this minority. This will be the first extend longitudinal study on youth anti-social behavior in any major Hispanic group. It will add information to growing fund of empirical data about the patterns in the development of antisocial behaviors that have been assessed in other ethnic groups, the generalizability of those findings and what may be unique features characteristic of ASB in this minority. The data can also inform preventive efforts and the shaping of culturally sensitive treatment interventions in this and other Hispanic groups.

描述（改编自申请人的摘要）：拟议的纵向 精神病理学研究比较了其发展、合并症和 破坏性障碍和反社会行为（ASB）的危险因素 波多黎各（波多黎各）和大陆的波多黎各儿童和青少年 美国之前的研究表明，儿童和青少年中 ASB 的发生率 青少年的 P.R 水平低于美国大陆，即使在 P.R. 与大陆西班牙裔的比率进行了比较。 现有发展 ASB 的研究从未纳入足够数量的西班牙裔群体 评估 ASB 发展中可能具有的特征 这些少数民族。 该研究使用队列序贯设计来描述 纽约市南布朗克斯波多黎各青年的 ASB 发展 和波多黎各的圣胡安都会区。 概率样本 每次将获得 5 至 13 岁的男孩和女孩 (N=1,575) 站点（总 N = 3,150）并跟踪三轮以检查是否 这两个地点的波多黎各儿童的比率差异是 解释是发病年龄、严重程度和 持续性以及 ASB 的相关危险因素。 该研究将评估 ASB 的合并症并解决这方面的问题 人口横截面以及是否随着时间的推移进行排序 波多黎各岛和大陆之间的 ASB 及其合并症有所不同 里科孩子们。 将特别强调以下合并症： 物质使用和滥用以及注意力缺陷多动症的作用 增加 ASB 及其相关疾病发生风险的障碍 (ADHD) 坚持。 该研究还将评估之间的关联 个人、家庭、同伴和社区因素与 ASB 的发展 在每个设置中。 需要检查的风险和保护因素包​​括 可能的文化决定因素，例如强烈的家庭依恋 （家庭主义）、父母和邻里监督以及家庭主义的类型和水平 文化适应。 这项研究在几个方面都是独一无二的。 它评估了发展 男孩和女孩的反社会行为是 不同环境的特征（岛屿与大陆）。 它 将相同的设计应用于研究单个西班牙裔少数群体的成员 他们的原生环境以及他们所居住的国家 迁移，提供了一个准自然的实验，允许 评估环境、文化因素和文化的影响 ASB 发展的变化以及该少数群体的犯罪行为。 这 这将是第一个针对青少年反社会行为的扩展纵向研究 任何主要的西班牙裔群体。 它将为不断增长的基金添加信息 有关反社会行为发展模式的经验数据 已在其他种族群体中进行过评估，其普遍性 这些发现以及 ASB 在这方面可能具有的独特特征 少数民族。 这些数据还可以为预防工作和塑造 对这个人和其他西班牙裔人进行文化敏感的治疗干预 组。
