Comorbidity of depression and conduct disorder (CDCD): The comorbidity
of depression and conduct disorder is being examined in youth referred
to the Child and Adolescent Therapy Clinic at The University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
We are examining cognitive, behavioral, and family factors that influence
the development of this comorbid condition. One goal of the project
is to develop effective treatment interventions for this population.
For more information regarding the Comorbidity of Depression and Conduct
Disorder (CDCD) study, or any research projects associated with the
