Introduction Youth with intellectual disabilities (ID) demonstrate higher rates of disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) than youth with typical development (TD). DBDs such as oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) predict higher rates of delinquency during adolescence. Yet, few studies have examined risk-taking and delinquency among youth with ID. Methods We used a self-report measure to determine whether 13-year-old youth with ID (n= 23) reported higher rates of risk-taking and delinquent behavior than their TD peers (n=77). We also examined whether or not youth had a previous diagnosis of ODD. Results Our results suggest that youth with ID reported fewer rule-breaking and risk-taking behaviors than their TD peers. In contrast, youth with a previous diagnosis of ODD reported more of these behaviors. Conclusion Our results appear discrepant from previous studies, which find higher rates of risk-taking and delinquency among youth with ID. As such, we discuss the factors that may explain our discrepant results, including our definition and assessment of ID, and the age of our participants.

有和没有智力障碍的青年的冒险和犯罪行为。

简介 智障 (ID) 青少年的破坏性行为障碍 (DBD) 发病率高于发育正常的青少年 (TD)。对立违抗障碍 (ODD) 等 DBD 预测青春期犯罪率较高。然而，很少有研究调查 ID 青少年的冒险和犯罪行为。方法 我们使用自我报告的方法来确定 13 岁的 ID 青年（n=23）是否比他们的 TD 同龄人（n=77）报告了更高的冒险和犯罪行为率。我们还检查了青少年之前是否有过 ODD 的诊断。结果 我们的研究结果表明，与 TD 同龄人相比，患有 ID 的青少年报告的违反规则和冒险行为更少。相比之下，先前诊断为 ODD 的青少年报告了更多此类行为。结论 我们的结果似乎与之前的研究有出入，后者发现 ID 青少年的冒险和犯罪率较高。因此，我们讨论了可能解释我们差异结果的因素，包括我们对 ID 的定义和评估，以及我们参与者的年龄。
