Translations and Linguistic Validation of the MINI
The non-profit Mapi Research Trust (MAPI) / ICON Language Services, in Lyon, France, is the sole translation service for existing non-English translations for all rating scales and diagnostic interviews that Dr. Sheehan licenses and distributes directly under a license from him.
Dr. Sheehan has collaborated closely with MAPI on these translations for over 15 years and continues to do so. This is to ensure the production of consistent and conceptually equivalent translations of the MINI and its variants and of Dr. Sheehan’s scales, and to be able to provide linguistic validation and certification of these translations. MAPI / Icon Language Services does not distribute the English source language version of the MINI / MINI Kid and scales, which are available from Dr. Sheehan directly.
When Dr. Sheehan fully executes your license agreement request, he will provide you with the information to contact MAPI / Icon Language Services to obtain consistent and conceptually equivalent, and linguistically validated translations and the related certificates.
MAPI / Icon Language Services may charge its own usual fees for this work.
How to Cite the MINI
About the Standard MINI
The standard MINI assesses the 17 most common disorders in mental health. The disorders investigated are the most important to identify in clinical and research settings.
About the MINI:
The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) was designed as a brief structured diagnostic interview for the major psychiatric disorders in DSM-III-R, DSM-IV and DSM-5 and ICD-10. Validation and reliability studies have been done comparing the MINI to the SCID-P for DSM-III-R and the CIDI (a structured interview developed by the World Health Organization). The results of these studies show that the MINI has similar reliability and validity properties to both these instruments, but can be administered in a much shorter period of time (mean 18.7 ± 11.6 minutes, median 15 minutes) than the above referenced instruments. Clinicians can use it after a brief training session. Lay interviewers require more extensive training. The MINI has been translated into over 70 languages.
The standard MINI assesses the 17 most common disorders in mental health. The disorders investigated are the most important to identify in clinical and research settings. The disorders were selected based on current prevalence rates of 0.5% or higher in the general population in epidemiology studies. In the interest of brevity, it uses branching tree logic.
There are several versions of the MINI available. The standard version of the MINI meets most needs, most of the time, in both clinical and research settings. The non-standard versions are mainly for use in settings where more detail is needed for some disorders, that are not captured in the standard version. Each of those versions is described below.
The flow chart (click here) helps guide you in choosing which version of the MINI is more likely to meet your needs.
