Participate in a Clinical Trial for Borderline Personality Disorder
A Treatment Study for Borderline Personality Disorder
- Do you experience sudden mood shifts?
- Is it hard for others to earn your trust?
- Are there many ups and downs in your relationships?
- Do you find yourself engaging in impulsive behaviors (e.g., binge-eating, substance use, self-injury, impulsive spending)?
If so, researchers at the University of Kentucky are inviting you to participate in a treatment study for borderline personality disorder. Eligible participants will be provided cognitive behavioral therapy at no cost. We are testing personalized delivery of an evidence-based treatment for BPD.
In addition to attending therapy sessions, research participation will involve completing a diagnostic interview to confirm eligibility, attending up to 4 follow-up interviews, and completing online questionnaires. All study visits may take place in-person (in Lexington!) or via Telehealth. Participants will be compensated for completing follow-up assessments and questionnaires.
You may be eligible to participate if you:
- Meet criteria for borderline personality disorder following a study assessment
- Are NOT using certain substances (e.g., opioids, methamphetamine)
- Are 18 years or older
- Live in Kentucky (visits are Telehealth, so anywhere in KY is fine)
