Dr. Sheehan licenses the MINI 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 will only consult with those who license the paper MINI / MINI Kid or paper scales directly from him. Contact Dr. Sheehan at davidVsheehan@gmail.com for additional information.
For information about virtual web-based training on the MINI Kid – which include a video, a quiz, and a certificate of completion of training – email training@harmresearch.org:
For certain sites, Dr. Sheehan can do an additional live Zoom question and answer session to address issues encountered after the raters at the site have done a dozen or so with real patients.

Training video subtitles are available in multiple languages on request. Contact training@harmresearch.org for more 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 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.
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. Each of those versions is described below.
