Answer 1

The most accurate option regarding intervention programs for conduct disorder (CD) is:

C) Therapeutic success is attributed to cognitive behavioral methods and bringing the intervention into the community.

This statement aligns with current evidence suggesting that effective interventions for conduct disorder often utilize cognitive-behavioral approaches and aim to involve community resources and support systems. While family involvement is important, the focus on cognitive-behavioral strategies and community integration has been shown to contribute positively to therapeutic outcomes in youth with CD.

Options A, B, and D, while containing some elements of truth, do not fully reflect the broader understanding and effectiveness of intervention strategies for conduct disorder.
