abstract="ObjectivesThis study is an exploration of the role of SUD and impulsivity in individuals with schizophrenia who are at higher risk of serious violence (SV).MethodsMultiple correspondence analysis (MCA) and cluster analysis (CA) were performed on a sample of 139 males meeting DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia-spectrum disorders (SSD).ResultsImpulsivity was the main dimension differentiating individuals. SUD and SV were strongly linked. CA yielded four clusters; one related to serious violence, SUD and a higher incarceration rate.ConclusionsSubgroups of SSD at risk of SV were found. SUD appear to be a major risk factor for SV and incarceration.<p />",
