Long-term outcomes after MBT for borderline personality disorder

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is an observational follow-up of a prior multicenter randomized trial comparing two MBT formats for borderline personality disorder. The study aims to examine long-term functioning, health care use, and costs, more than a decade after initial MBT treatment. It assesses current symptoms, interpersonal functioning, daily living skills, identity development, and participation in society to understand sustained effects and differences between MBT-DH and MBT-IOP. The investigation may help refine MBT delivery models and inform cost-effectiveness considerations. Participants include individuals who were originally randomized to MBT-DH or MBT-IOP and agreed to be contacted for follow-up.
