title: Applicability of the Revised Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines to hospitalized adolescents.
abstract: Administration of the Revised Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines to 14 adolescent girls showed that the 10 who had chart diagnoses of Borderline Personality Disorder or such features earned significantly higher scores than the 4 nonborderline adolescents. The small sample warrants replication but results suggest the interview seems appropriate in research with adolescent girls.
