Abstract:
The behavioral disorder attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which frequently coexists with disruptive behavioral disorder or conduct disorder, causes students to engage in aggressive, maladaptive, and destructive behaviors that interfere with their social interactions and lead to poor academic performance, troubled relationships, and low self-esteem, all of which have a negative impact on their behavioral and academic performance. Students with conduct disorder have behaviors that are more difficult to manage and are more likely to drop out of school and complete fewer years of education. Based on this, the researcher investigates the prevalence, factors that contribute to it, and treatment options for conduct disorder in Ilorin Metropolis students with ADHD. Descriptive survey design was used. 60 respondents of students with ADHD and 60 respondents of teachers teaching students with ADHD were purposefully selected pooping. NICHQ Vanderbilt assessment scales used for diagnosing ADHD was adapted and administered to students to determine the prevalence and questionnaire on causes of conduct disorder among students with ADHD (r=0.81) and management of conduct disorder among students with ADHD (r=0.81) were used for data collection. Three research questions and Three hypothesis were stated and tested at (p>0.05) level was raised. Frequency, mean, percentage and T-test was used for data analysis According to the study's results, there is a low prevalence of conduct disorder among students with ADHD (mean=2.2), a high prevalence of conduct disorder causes among students with ADHD (mean=3.1), and a high prevalence of conduct disorder management among students with ADHD (mean=3.1). Additionally, it was discovered that there was no discernible difference in the prevalence of conduct disorder among ADHD students based on gender, no discernible difference in the causes of conduct disorder among ADHD students based on male and female students, and no discernible difference in the management of conduct disorder among ADHD students based on male and female students. Thus, it was determined that there is a low frequency of conduct disorder among ADHD students in Ilorin Metropolis and that there are no appreciable differences between male and female students in terms of the causes and treatment of conduct disorder. In order to effectively implement these management measures and reduce the manifestation of conduct disorder in students with ADHD, teachers should employ them and collaborate closely with parents of students who have the disorder.
