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 contains 2 files; the MINI Kid and MINI Kid Parent Version for Psychotic Disorders Studies 7.0.2 for DSM-5. The standard MINI Kid assesses the 30 most common and clinically relevant disorders or disorder subtypes in pediatric mental health. With this version the child and parent are interviewed together. The question is directed to the child. The parent is asked to remain silent and not to respond unless the parent believes it is clear that the child has provided inaccurate information. The clinician then triangulates the discussion between child, parent and clinician, to get the most accurate assessment, and records the responses accordingly. Using the MINI Kid Parent Version is not usually necessary, nor is it time and cost efficient most of the time. But this decision needs to be made by the on-site clinician to meet the needs of each family. Like the adult MINI, it uses branching tree logic in the interest of brevity. The MINI Kid and MINI Kid Parent Version for Psychotic Disorders Studies has a more detailed set of questions for each of the 9 Psychotic Disorders than the standard MINI Kid.
