Does low reading achievement at school entry cause conduct problems?
Kathryn J. Bennett, K. Stephen Brown, Michael Boyle, Yvonne Racine and Dan Offord Social Science & Medicine, 2003, vol. 56, issue 12, pages 2443-2448 Abstract: Conduct problems place children at increased risk for a broad array of negative health and social outcomes that include conduct disorder, injuries and violence, school failure, substance abuse, depression, and suicide. Prevention interventions have the potential to interrupt the chain of events linking early conduct problem symptoms to future negative life outcomes, but have received much less emphasis than interventions designed to treat established cases of disorder. Reading problems are a well-established correlate of conduct disorder. However, whether or not reading problems cause conduct disorder continues to be debated. If they are in fact a causal risk factor this would justify the design and evaluation of interventions designed to enhance reading skills and/or remediate problems. In this paper we use logistic regression
