Approximately ____ of all children and adolescents experience at least one mental health problem prior to adulthood.
20%
refers to the percentage of individuals in

a disorder at a given point in time

with a disorder at any point in their lifetime.

Comorbidity
What Factors Influence the Prevalence of
Childhood Disorders?
- age
- gender
- socioeconomic status (SES)
- ethnicity
Gender
Boys are 4 times more likely than girls to be
diagnosed with ASD and 3 times more likely than girls
to be diagnosed with ADHD. Boys are also more likely
than girls to show disruptive behavior problems, such
as oppositional defiant disorder (ODD).
Socioeconomic Status
Socioeconomic status (SES) is one of the best
predictors of children’s mental health. SES is a
composite variable that reflects three aspects of a
child’s environment:
• (1) parents’ levels of education
• (2) parents’ employment, and
• (3) family income.
Ethnicity
Certain disordersare more commonly diagnosed in
non-Latino, White families. For example, the
prevalence of ASD is approximately twice as high
among non-Latino, White children (1.1%) compared
to Latino (0.5%) or African American (0.4%) youths.
Similarly, ADHD is more frequently diagnosed in nonLatino, White youths (9.1%) than in African American
(8.0%) or Latino (4.1%) children.
Mental Disorder

- (1) statistical infrequency,
- (2) associated impairment,
- (3) associated distress,
- (4) cultural deviancy, and
- (5) behavioral rigidity

disturbance in an individual’s cognition, emotion regulation, or behavior that
reflects a dysfunction in the psychological, biological, or developmental processes

behavior remains the same
heterotypic continuity
occurs when children

histories show similar
developmental outcomes
Equifinality
refers to the tendency of children with similar early experiences to show different social, emotional, and behavioral outcomes.
Multifinality
According to the research literature,
what methods of assessment and forms of treatment work
best for a child with this disorder?
Scientific research
According to my own professional
experience and judgment, what is the best way for me to
assess and treat this child?
Clinical expertise
How might the child’s age, gender,
and sociocultural background, or the family’s expectations and
preferences for therapy, affect the way I help them?
