Screening for borderline personality disorder (BPD) in malaysia: a validation study of the McLean screening instrument for BPD
The MSI-BPD is a valid and reliable tool for screening BPD in Malaysia. The findings enhance our understanding of BPD's construct validity and factor structure in Southeast Asia, which leads to a more universal and cross-cultural understanding of BPD. Validating the screening instrument is crucial for improving mental health assessments and interventions, as well as strategies to better identify individuals at-risk for BPD for early intervention optimizing outcomes in a low-resource Southeast Asian context.
