Looking for expression of interest
If you are currently working with a person with borderline personality disorder, then we invite you to share with them details of a research study, as we are looking at how people with borderline personality disorder sleep.
Sharing their experience will improve how we understand BPD and sleep which may help us to better assist people who are seeking support - and this information will be shared amongst the Victorian Area Mental Health and Wellbeing Services.
Participation involves having the person complete an initial online survey (30-40 minutes), then completing questionnaires in the morning and at night for seven (7) days and – for some participants - wearing an actigraphy watch to measure their sleep experience.
Their participation in the study will continue for 7 days and will require about 30 min per day of their time. At the completion of their involvement, they will be offered a gift voucher as a
token of our appreciation.

This study is being conducted by Spectrum Personality Disorder and Complex Trauma Service and Turning Point. The study has been approved by the Eastern Health Human Research Ethics Committee (Eastern Health Reference Number: LR24-037-105663).
