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)  

To initiate participation, you can visit this information/screening link to determine if you meet initial study criteria: https://redcap.uky.edu/redcap/surveys/?s=9WKM4JJ8YTMKRF3C
