Abstract

We investigated the correlation between craniofacial anomalies and disruptive behavior disorders (DBDs) in pediatric patients using archival data from UI Health Craniofacial Center. Analysis of 150 participants (Mage = 10) revealed significant links between craniofacial conditions and elevated externalizing behavior problems, underscoring the need for specialized psychosocial interventions.
