Findings to be published for members to see
This survey has been fully subscribed and is now closed Risk & Benefits: The information requested in this survey concerns your personal experiences in sensitive, emotional scenarios between you and your family member with BPD. Questions will ask about sensitive interpersonal topics, such as what types of emotional behavior you've witnessed from your family member with BPD, your thoughts and reactions to your family member's behavior, and how your family member's behavior affects you. The questions in this survey require you to look inwards, and observe your own thoughts and feelings. Doing so has the potential to give you increased mental understanding and clarity about yourself, and about your unique position as a relative of someone with BPD
Additional Information: You must have a relative with BPD to qualify. Estimated time to complete this survey is between 30 minutes. You will be encouraged to speak openly about your personal experiences. There is no compensation for participating.
