Personality Disorder and Substance Use Disorder Outside Treatment Settings: The Prison Community | Chapter 6 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Science Vol. 4

 Background: Most studies on the comorbidity of personality disorder (PD) and substance use disorder (SUD) have been conducted in normal and unrestricted settings, with free and unrestricted patients. Despite their highly structured and controlled environment, illicit drugs are used in prisons. Despite the fact that few studies on the health of prison inmates have revealed high levels of mental disorder, no studies on the comorbidity of SUDs and PD in the prison community have been conducted. The goals of this study were to determine the prevalence of SUDs and PD in the prison population, as well as the degree of comorbidity between the two disorders in this population.

Methods: Prison inmates who met the inclusion criteria were interviewed using (IPDE) International Personality Disorder Examination and Sections 10 and 11of the Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry (SCAN) (SCAN). Both instruments are semi structured questionnaires modified to conform to DSM-111-R (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual) and ICD-10 (International Classification of Diseases) classifications. The diagnoses were coded using the ICD-10 system. The data was entered into the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS/PC+), and the variables were cross-tabulated using chisquare and the t- test. The study found that (77) 36 percent of the 213 inmates who agreed to participate had SUDs, and (111) 52 percent had PD with Borderline/Impulsive PD. Comorbidity is most common in Dissocial PD and Anankastic PD. Conclusion: Inmates with SUD and PD are housed in prison communities. A strong link has been established between the two disorders, with a comorbid prevalence rate of 70%. It is argued that there is an urgent need for close medical and psychiatric care.

Study on Personality Disorder in a Nigerian Prison Community | Chapter 8 | Highlights on Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 1

Background: Personality disorders have been recognized and identified as a medical diagnosis since the 19th century, but very few epidemiological studies have been conducted. The lack of information in the prisons about this condition contributed to the estimation of its prevalence in Nigeria's Agodi prisons.

Objective: To create the prevalence of personality disorder in Nigeria's prison population.

Methods: Using the International Personality Disorder Assessment (IPDE), a semi-structured questionnaire updated to adhere to the DSM 111-R and ICD-10 classifications, a total of 213 inmates who met the study criteria were interviewed. Cross tabulation of the variables was obtained using chi-square and t- analyses using the Statistical Kit for Social Sciences (SPSS/PC+).

Performance: The results found that at least 31% of prison prisoners had the most common personality disorders of antisocial personality disorder. A strong correlation was formed between crime and personality disorder, and the need for prison medical treatment was recommended. Educational packages with an emphasis on vocational and technical education should be implemented in Nigerian prisons as part of correctional services.
