About the MINI for ADHD Studies
The MINI for ADHD Studies has a detailed set of questions that probe ADHD symptoms in adults. These questions are not included in the Standard Adult MINI. This version of the MINI is suitable for clinical and research settings where adult ADHD symptoms are a focus of interest. Otherwise, all the other modules are similar to the Standard Adult MINI.
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.
