Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) Kid for Suicidality Disorders Studies (Adolescent) 7.0.2

About the Adolescent MINI Kid for Suicidality Disorders Studies

The Adolescent MINI Kid for Suicidality Disorders Studies* (for ages 13 through 17) has a detailed set of questions / modules on each of the 12 Suicidality Disorders phenotypes. It has more detailed modules on each of the Suicidality Disorder phenotypes beyond the questions assessing overall suicidality in the standard MINI Kid. It is suitable for clinical and research settings where Suicidality Disorders phenotyping is a focus of 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 Kid.

About the MINI Kid:

The standard MINI Kid assesses the 33 most common and clinically relevant disorders or disorder subtypes in pediatric mental health. There are several versions available of the MINI Kid, each described below. The standard version of the MINI Kid 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 or when input from the parent or guardian is required. Each of those versions is described below. We recommend using the standard child version. 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. In this event the clinician then triangulates the discussion between child, parent and clinician, to get the most accurate assessment, and records the responses accordingly. Using the 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.
