The Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) is a short, structured diagnostic interview developed initially in 1990 by psychiatrists and clinicians in the United States and Europe for DSM-III-R and ICD-10 psychiatric disorders. With an administration time of approximately 15 minutes, the MINI is the structured psychiatric interview of choice for psychiatric evaluation and outcome tracking in clinical psychopharmacology trials and epidemiological studies. The MINI is the most widely used psychiatric structured diagnostic interview instrument in the world, employed by mental health professionals and health organizations in more than 100 countries. The MINI has been translated and linguistically validated in over 70 languages. It has been updated to map to both DSM-IV, MINI 6.0 (version 10/10/10), and DSM-5, MINI 7.0.2, diagnostic criteria.
This product is the MINI for Suicidality Disorders Studies* 7.0.2 for DSM-5. It has a more detailed set of questions for each of the 9 Psychotic Disorders than the standard MINI. It has detailed modules on each of the Suicidality Disorder phenotypes beyond the questions assessing overall suicidality in the standard MINI. (These phenotypes are described in detail in the book Suicidality: A Roadmap for Assessment and Treatment by Sheehan DV and Giddens JM. Harm Research Press. Tampa, Florida, USA. 2015.) It is suitable for clinical and research settings where Suicidality Disorders phenotypes is of special interest and where it is important to differentiate between the different suicidality disorders phenotypes (e.g. Impulse Attack Suicidality Disorder vs. Psychotic Suicidality Disorder vs. Mood Disorder Induced Suicidality Disorder). Otherwise all the other modules are similar to the standard MINI.
