MOBY: A randomised controlled trial of three forms of psychosocial early intervention for borderline personality disorder in youth.

Dataset from a randomized controlled trial aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of early intervention methods for young individuals (aged 15-25) diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) who are seeking treatment for the first time. The study compares three distinct interventions: two specialized forms of the "Helping Young People Early" (HYPE) intervention—one with and one without 16 sessions of individual Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT)—and a control group receiving general youth mental health care of equivalent duration. The primary outcomes assessed are improvements in interpersonal problems and social adjustment at 12 and 18 months post-enrolment. The dataset is designed to identify which intervention most effectively aids in the early stages of BPD management, with the hypothesis that HYPE combined with CAT will yield superior outcomes.

本数据集源自一项随机对照试验，旨在评估针对首次寻求治疗、确诊为边缘型人格障碍（Borderline Personality Disorder, BPD）的15至25岁青年群体的早期干预方法的有效性。该研究对比了三种不同的干预方案：两种“青年早期帮扶”（Helping Young People Early, HYPE）的专属干预形式——分别为包含16次个体认知分析疗法（Cognitive Analytic Therapy, CAT）与不包含该疗法的版本——以及一个接受同等时长常规青少年心理健康护理的对照组。研究评估的主要结局指标为入组后12个月与18个月时的人际问题改善情况与社会适应能力提升水平。本数据集旨在明确哪种干预方案在边缘型人格障碍早期管理中效果最优，其研究预设假说为结合认知分析疗法的HYPE干预方案将取得更优异的结局。
