Answer 1

Disruptive behavior disorder is a common factor in substance abuse. This gives rise to many another type of disorders such as ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder)  typically precede the initiation of use of a variety of substances that, in turn, make a person alcohol dependence in adolescents.

In the study on Swedish adolescents who displays aggressive behavior, restlessness, lack of concentration and poor impulse control demonstrate that the childhood conduct disorder and were more likely as adults to have an alcohol-related disorder and dependency. One of the key factors that have come out in the research is the mother's inability to control the child disruptive/disinhibited behavior at the beginning itself. Childhood environment, the family environment, the relationship with parents harsh and inconsistent discipline are associated with DBD in adolescents. Parents play an important role in shaping one's personality.

A youth who is substance abuse is four times more likely to suffer from substance use disorders (SUD). The research has suggested that if the DBD is due to substance abuse that the treatment becomes difficult.

• During diagnosis, it is important to understand the role of DBD In the context of parenting as they are the external factors responsible for the behavioral disorders. The inclusion or exclusion of parents during the treatment is also taken into consideration so results may indicate the true differential impact of parenting across, The outcome of the result is still inconsistent.
• Evidence derived from various studies have shown that these behavioral disorders that are one type of mental disorders and these childhood mental disorders and adolescent give rise to the Autoimmune deficiency (AID) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),
• Disruptive behavior disorder gives rise to conduct disorder (CD) Too.
• Students test and chi-square test were performed on a number of people to find out the onset of DBD and the age of onset of alcohol dependence by using the paired t-test.
• It was noticed during the experiment that adolescent initiate the use of the substance without the parent's knowledge During the research it was directly questioned the subject the exact age when the initiated drugs.  The study shows that the rate of alcohol dependence was higher in children with ADHD is very early childhood.
• There appeared to be chronological progress  onset of alcohol use occurred significantly earlier than the onset of marijuana and other street drug use as well as the onset of alcohol dependence
