- Abstract
<bold>Objective: </bold>The goal was to examine whether anxiety modifies the risk for, or severity of, conduct problems in children with ADHD.<bold>Method: </bold>Assessment included both categorical and dimensional measures of ADHD, anxiety, and conduct problems. Analyses compared conduct problems between children with ADHD features alone versus children with co-occurring ADHD and anxiety features.<bold>Results: </bold>When assessed by dimensional rating scales, results showed that compared with children with ADHD alone, those children with ADHD co-occurring with anxiety are at risk for more intense conduct problems. When assessment included a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (4th ed.; DSM-IV) diagnosis via the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School Age Children-Epidemiologic Version (K-SADS), results showed that compared with children with ADHD alone, those children with ADHD co-occurring with anxiety neither had more intense conduct problems nor were they more likely to be diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder or conduct disorder.<bold>Conclusion: </bold>Different methodological measures of ADHD, anxiety, and conduct problem features influenced the outcome of the analyses.
