Use of Care Services by Patients With Borderline Personality Disorder

Completed

• Conditions: Borderline Personality Disorder
• Interventions: Other: No intervention; Behavioral: Psychologic test

• Registration Number: NCT02829658
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse

Brief Summary

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by a pervasive pattern of instability and impulsivity. Several North American prospective studies support the high level of mental health care utilization in this population. There is little data in other systems of health organization, such as France. Furthermore, little is known on the variables associated with the mental health service utilization among BPD patients.

The main objective was to compare the utilization of mental health care among BPD patients, to the general population and patients with another personality disorder (PD) and to describe the demographic and clinical factors associated with the group of patients who use the most health care.
