          Abstract

          Objetivos: O MINI é uma entrevista diagnóstica padronizada breve (15-30 minutos), compatível com os critérios do DSM-III-R/IV e da CID-10, que é destinada à utilização na prática clínica e na pesquisa em atenção primária e em psiquiatria, e pode ser utilizada por clínicos após um treinamento rápido (de 1 a 3 horas). A versão Plus do MINI, mais detalhada, gera diagnósticos positivos dos principais transtornos psicóticos e do humor do DSM-IV. Este artigo apresenta os resultados de quatro estudos de validação do instrumento, realizados na Europa e nos EUA. Métodos: Os estudos 1 (França) e 2 (EUA) testaram a confiabilidade <FONT FACE="Symbol">-</FONT>entre avaliadores e teste-reteste <FONT FACE="Symbol">-</FONT>da versão DSM-III-R do MINI (n=84, sendo 42 pacientes psiquiátricos de cada centro) e sua validade com relação ao CIDI (n=346, sendo 296 pacientes psiquiátricos e 50 controles) e ao SCID-P (n=370, sendo 308 pacientes psiquiátricos e 62 controles), respectivamente. O estudo 3 testou a validade de diagnósticos gerados por clínicos gerais usando o MINI (DSM-IV) com relação aos diagnósticos clínicos habituais de psiquiatras, em 409 pacientes de centros de atenção primária de quatro países (França, Espanha, Itália e Reino Unido). O estudo 4 testou a confiabilidade entre avaliadores (n=20 pacientes psiquiátricos) e a validade dos módulos Transtornos Psicóticos, Depressão e Mania do MINI Plus - DSM IV (n=104 pacientes psiquiátricos) com relação a dois critérios de referência: diagnósticos do CIDI e diagnósticos clínicos de psiquiatras. Análises quantitativas (índices de concordância e de validade) e qualitativas (razões de discordância) foram realizadas. Resultados: Os índices de confiabilidade do MINI (estudos 1 e 2) e do MINI Plus (estudo 4) foram globalmente satisfatórios. Comparados a vários critérios de referência (CIDI, SCID-P, opinião de peritos), em diferentes contextos (unidades psiquiátricas e centros de atenção primária), o MINI e o MINI Plus mostraram qualidades psicométricas similares às de outras entrevistas diagnósticas padronizadas mais complexas, permitindo uma redução de 50% ou mais no tempo da avaliação. Análises qualitativas identificaram dificuldades e erros diagnósticos ligados aos casos, métodos de avaliação e critérios de diagnósticos estudados. Modificações foram introduzidas para corrigir os problemas identificados e otimizar as propriedades psicométricas do MINI e do MINI Plus. Conclusões: O MINI e sua versão Plus são adaptados ao contexto clínico e à avaliação de pacientes mais graves, e representam uma alternativa econômica para a seleção de pacientes, segundo critérios internacionais, em estudos clínicos e epidemiológicos. O MINI já está disponível em aproximadamente 30 idiomas, incluindo a versão brasileira. As perspectivas atuais de adaptação e aplicação transcultural do instrumento são discutidas.

          Objectives: The MINI is a short (15-30 minutes) structured diagnostic interview compatible with DSM-III-R/IV and ICD-10 criteria. It was designed for the clinical practice and research in psychiatric and primary care settings. Clinicians learn how to use it after a short training (1-3 hours). The MINI Plus is a more detailed version that helps mainly with the diagnosis of Psychotic and Mood DSM-IV Disorders. Here are presented the results of 4 MINI validation studies conducted in Europe and the U.S. Methods: The studies 1 (France) and 2 (U.S.) tested the DSM-III-R MINI reliability (inter-rater and test-retest; n=84, 42 psychiatric patients from each center) and its validity comparing with the CIDI (n=346, 296 psychiatric patients and 50 controls) and the SCID-P (n=370, 308 psychiatric patients and 62 controls), respectively. The study 3 tested the validity of general practitioners' diagnoses using the MINI (DSM-IV) compared with expert psychiatrists' diagnoses for 409 patients of primary care centers in four countries (France, Spain, Italy and United Kingdom). The study 4 tested inter-rater reliability (n=20 psychiatric patients) and the Psychotic Disorders, Depression and Mania modules validity of the Mini Plus <FONT FACE="Symbol">-</FONT>DSM-IV (n=104 psychiatric patients) compared with two standard criteria: CIDI and expert psychiatrists' diagnoses. Quantitative (indexes of agreement and validity) and qualitative (sources of discrepancies) analyses were performed. Results: The MINI (studies 1 e 2) and MINI Plus (study 4) reliability were overall satisfactory. Compared to various diagnostic standard criteria (CIDI, SCID-P, expert opinion) in different settings (psychiatric and primary care centers), MINI and the MINI Plus showed the same psychometric properties seen in more complex structured diagnostic interviews, reducing in more than 50% the assessment time. Qualitative analyses identified diagnostic difficulties and bias related to cases, assessment methods and diagnostic criteria. Modifications were introduced to correct any identified problem and improve the psychometric properties of the MINI/MINI Plus. Conclusions: MINI and its Plus version are adjusted to the clinical setting and for the assessment of severe cases. They represent an economic alternative for selecting patients, according to international criteria, in clinical trials and epidemiologic studies. The MINI DSM-IV 5.0 is available in almost 30 languages, including a Brazilian version. Current perspectives of the interview cross-cultural adjustments and application are discussed.

              Evaluation of mental health. Issues of memory in the Diagnostic Interview Schedule.

              Research on the Diagnostic Interview Schedule, the chief instrument in contemporary studies in psychiatric epidemiology, has supported its utility in enabling lay interviewers to reproduce psychiatric interviews within an acceptable margin of error. Nonetheless, we propose that the Diagnostic Interview Schedule commits itself to dubious assumptions regarding the accuracy of human memory, shared by other history-taking efforts, by relying on retrospective reports of lifetime DSM-III symptoms and episodic dating of symptom spells. For more than a century, the fallibility of human memory has been the topic of intensive experimental and naturalistic study, a history which is relevant to the construction of instruments like the Diagnostic Interview Schedule. The continuing use of retrospective lifetime symptom reports suggests that this literature has been largely ignored in the development and administration of the Diagnostic Interview Schedule. Prospectively organized research is needed to disclose the limits of human memory for recent psychiatric events and the mediating conditions under which memory for such events can be accurately retrieved and improved.
