ABSTRACT The present study examined the relationship between family factors and parental correlates with adolescent conduct disorder in a national sample of adolescents. A secondary analysis of the 2011–2012 National Child Health Survey was conducted. Results from the final multivariate regression revealed that the following factors placed adolescents at increased risk for conduct disorder: being Caucasian, not meeting a child’s friends, not eating dinner as a family, living with a parent who has been divorced, living with a parent who has recently passed, having a parent in jail, witnessing parenting violence, living with someone with a mental health problem, argued too much, and living with a parent who has reported drug use. Recommendations for preventionists, researchers and health professionals are provided.
