Funded Activity Summary

The HPA-axis as a marker for disruptive behaviour disorder subtypes in toddlers. Emerging neurobiological models of antisocial behaviour emphasise the role of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in the onset of disruptive behaviour disorders (DBDs). Given the broad consensus that antisocial trajectories originate in the toddler years, this project will use cortisol measures of HPA-axis activity to identify the mechanisms through which developmental factors interact with parenting and family environment to shape persistent DBDs; this will be achieved by following toddlers with severe DBDs across a controlled trial of a parenting intervention.
