Borderline personality disorder (BPD) and substance use disorders (SUDs) commonly co-occur across various settings. However, little research has examined how BPD features relate to specific types of SUDs. This study examined whether BPD features assessed shortly after incarceration were differentially related to symptoms of dependence on alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, and opioids experienced in the 12 months prior to incarceration among 510 people recently incarcerated in jail. Follow-up multigroup analyses evaluated whether gender or race moderated the relation of BPD features to the four SUDs. Using structural equational modeling, the relationships of BPD features were compared to each of the four preincarceration dependence symptoms. BPD features were significantly related to dependence on each of the four substances, but the link between BPD features and cocaine dependence was stronger than BPD's association with alcohol, cannabis, or opioid dependence. These findings generalized across men and women and across White and Black people.

最近被监禁在监狱的人中，边缘性人格障碍特征是否与入狱前酒精、大麻、可卡因和阿片类药物依赖存在差异？

边缘型人格障碍 (BPD) 和物质使用障碍 (SUD) 通常在各种环境中同时发生。然而，很少有研究探讨 BPD 特征如何与特定类型的 SUD 相关。这项研究调查了 510 名最近入狱的人在入狱后不久评估的 BPD 特征是否与入狱前 12 个月对酒精、大麻、可卡因和阿片类药物的依赖症状有差异相关。后续多组分析评估了性别或种族是否调节了 BPD 特征与四种 SUD 的关系。使用结构方程模型，将 BPD 特征的关系与四种入狱前依赖症状中的每一种进行比较。BPD 特征与对四种物质中每一种物质的依赖性显着相关，但是 BPD 特征与可卡因依赖之间的联系比 BPD 与酒精、大麻或阿片类药物依赖之间的联系更强。这些发现普遍适用于男性和女性以及白人和黑人。
