Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are native Romanian speakers aged 18–50 with intact reading comprehension who are not currently at high suicide risk or experiencing active substance or alcohol use disorders.

Probably not a fit

People outside the 18–50 age range, non-native Romanian speakers, those with current high suicide risk, active SUD/AUD, or significant cognitive impairment are unlikely to benefit from this screening validation.

What this trial studies

The project will translate and culturally adapt the HPS-6 into Romanian and administer it to native Romanian-speaking adults aged 18–50 at Babeș-Bolyai University. Eligible participants without current high suicide risk or active substance use will complete the HPS-6 and related questionnaires. Psychometric analyses will evaluate internal consistency, factor structure, and screening accuracy against clinical indicators. The goal is to create a brief, validated screening tool usable in Romanian clinical and community settings.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this could provide a quick, culturally appropriate screening tool to help identify people at risk for bipolar disorder earlier and guide timely referral.

How similar studies have gone: Short versions of the Hypomanic Personality Scale and related hypomania screening tools have been validated in other countries and generally show acceptable reliability and screening performance.
