Characterizing psychopharmacological prescribing practices in a large cohort of adolescents with borderline personality disorder
Results characterize psychiatric medication prescribing practices in youth with BPD. Prescribing practices vary by demographics, such that boys and non-Latinx youth are prescribed more medications than girls and Latinx youth, respectively. These demographic differences suggest that prescribers may treat BPD differently based on patient demographic characteristics.
