Antisocial personality disorder and determinants among prisoners in South Gondar zone correctional institutions, Northwest Ethiopia: An institution-based cross-sectional study
This study showed a higher prevalence of antisocial personality disorder among prisoners. Male sex, unemployment, family history of mental illness, and history of incarceration were significantly associated with antisocial personality disorder. Therefore, the findings of this study recommend that incarcerated people require more attention and early intervention for antisocial personality disorder in correctional centers.
