About the MINI Kid Screen
The MINI Kid Screen uses only the screening questions in each module of the MINI Kid. A negative response to the screening questions usually means it is unlikely the patient has the disorder. A positive response to questions on any questions in the MINI Kid Screen should prompt the clinician to ask additional questions using the standard MINI Kid. The MINI Kid Screen is on 4 pages.
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.
