The aim of the study was to establish the relationship of birth order and conduct disorders among secondary
school students in Nakuru county, Nakuru municipality, Kenya. This study was conducted for both male and
female students. A total of 317 students participated. The study had 51.7% males and 48.3% females. Further,
21.5% were first borns, 58% middle and 20.5% were last borns. Study tools included the questionnaire. The
study established a statistically significant relationship between birth order and conduct disorders (p= .000) at
the df =2. Birth order and conduct disorder was found to be probably the most important aspects of life. Birth
order, specifically being a last born renders one to be more susceptible to conduct disorders compared to being
the first born or middle born. Self-awareness program dealing with conduct disorder symptom and health seek
ing behavior should be promoted in schools.
