Dr. Sheehan and Jennifer M. Giddens license this in paper format for distribution as follows : 1) in paper format for any uses; or 2) in fixed pdf form, paper form, or both for use in clinical or academic research trials or studies.
There is a charge per individual use (not per patient enrolled). The amount must be paid in full before study initiation.
Dr. Sheehan can design customized additional optional modules for the MINI / MINI Kid for other disorders and can customize scales to meet the needs of a specific study or clinical setting. Contact Dr. Sheehan at davidVsheehan@gmail.com to discuss a customized version designed for your needs.
Dr. Sheehan only provides consultation, guidance on regulatory agency questions, and training to those who license the MINI / MINI Kid or scales directly from him. Contact Dr. Sheehan at davidVsheehan@gmail.com for additional information.

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.

About the HMS:
The Homicidality Modifiers Scale (HMS)* assesses factors that can influence some domains of homicidality. It covers the domains of:
For each domain covered, it assesses:
Use to Clinicians
The answers to items 4 through 6 above provide the clinician with information about critical target domains. This helps the clinician to understand and to assist the patient in coping with these memories and events. The HMS sometimes provided an early warning sign of impending worsening of homicidality before it became apparent in other ways. This was particularly true of question 3 – “the loss of desire to hold back the impulse to plan or to act in any way to kill someone”. We suspect that the change in the score on this question may consistently precede other changes in homicidality, during deterioration in a subject with Impulse Attack Homicidality Disorder (as is true in Impulse Attack Suicidality Disorder). Question 3 also lagged behind improvement in other areas and was one of the last questions in that domain to fully resolve.
The HMS may be particularly helpful in assessing impulsive homicidality and hopelessness in a way that is very sensitive to change and may provide an early warning sign of impending worsening of homicidality before it becomes apparent in other ways.
