“…The MINI is a brief diagnostic structured interview designed to generate positive diagnosis for the 17 major Axis I Psychiatric disorders. 16 Validation of this instrument in Africa was done in Morocco by Kadri et al (2005). 17 It was translated into Runyankore-Rukiga (a Bantu language spoken by majority of the people in the South western part of Uganda) and back translated into English to ensure that the original meaning was not lost.…”

Background: Mental illness is a global health burden that remains poorly understood even by health care providers. It is important to get insight of the prevalence, clinical features and management of psychiatric morbidity in general practice in Uganda as it affects treatment outcome. Objective: To determine the prevalence, types and associations of psychiatric morbidity as seen among adult in-patients on medical and surgical wards of Mbarara Regional Referral hospital as a prototype Ugandan regional referral hospital. Methods: This was a cross sectional descriptive study. Psychiatric diagnosis was arrived at by administering the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) as the diagnostic instrument. Results: Of the 258 participants in this study, 109 (42%) met criteria for at least one DSM IV psychiatric diagnosis. Only 6% of all the psychiatrically diagnosed patients were recognized by their treating doctors as having mental illness. Conclusion: The psychiatric disorders on the general medical and surgical wards are highly prevalent and not recognized by staff on these wards despite their common occurrence. There is need for sensitisation of staff on recognition and management of psychiatric disorders in physical illness.

“…It is a short diagnostic structured interview designed to generate a positive diagnosis for ICD-10 and DSM-III-R/IV disorders. The MINI and MINI Plus are used worldwide, there are several nationally standardized versions (Italian, Japanese and Arabic [84][85][86] ). The interview is favoured in establishing diagnoses and comorbidities in affective disorders especially including a separate module of 'suicidal behaviour' [87][88][89][90] .…”

Background: The aim of the study was to reveal the background dimensions of suicidal behaviour (SB) and to identify clusters of Hungarian adolescent outpatients suffering from suicidality by means of the following correlates of SB: depression, inadequate conflict-solving methods, dysfunctional attitudes, maladaptive coping, help-seeking strategies and negative life events. Sampling and Methods: A self-report test battery was completed by every consecutive new adolescent outpatient from a representative patient pool of 5 local child psychiatric centres in Western Hungary over an 18-month period (n = 644). The questionnaires used were the pilot version of the Columbia Depression Scale, the Hungarian standard versions of the Beck Depression Inventory, the Ways of Coping Questionnaire, the Dysfunctional Attitude Scale and the Junior High Life Experiences Survey. A total of 110 adolescent outpatients (88 females, 22 males, mean age = 16.21 years, SD = 1.38) suffering from SB were included in the study. All diagnoses including SB were confirmed by the MINI Plus Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview. K means clustering was used to compare variances of 19 variables to decide which ones are the major criteria for assigning subjects to clusters, and principal component analysis was utilized to identify background SB dimensions in the patient sample. Results: The cluster analysis identified 3 homogenous clusters differentiating suicidal adolescents characteristically: ‘stress-laden/medium depressive’, ‘low depressive/low achievement’ and ‘high depressive’ cluster groups. While cluster analysis confirmed the role of the severity of depression only, principal component analysis explored the following 4 underlying profiles of SB: stress-laden, dysfunctional, maladaptive and depressive/risky factors. Conclusions: Although important coping qualities failed to register as major criteria in the development of separate groups of suicidal adolescent outpatients, distinct background profiles of SB among Hungarian adolescents were found covering the risk groups according to clinical experience. Future research is warranted to identify possible variation in the coping strategies among different adolescent suicidal samples.

“…33 The instrument has been found to be valid when measured against the longer Composite International Diagnostic Interview and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R Patients. 35,36 The reliability of the interview has been shown in various cultures, 33,[37][38][39] and its utility as a diagnostic tool to identify populations at risk in war-affected groups has been demonstrated previously. 28,40 All those instruments for which there had been no validated translations in all languages were translated and backtranslated into English.…”
