Who Are the Dually Diagnosed?

Borthwick-Duffy, Sharon A.; Eyman, Richard K.

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v94 n6 p586-95 May 1990

A state (California) database of 78,603 individuals with mental retardation receiving state services was examined to determine relations between behavior problems, residential placement patterns, and other characteristics, and the likelihood of being dually diagnosed. Extrapunitive maladaptive behaviors, cognitive abilities, and social skills were associated with diagnoses of mental health problems. (Author/JDD)
