Which types of disorders does the MINI specifically assess?

Physical health disorders
Only substance use disorders
A mix of psychiatric and substance use disorders
Only psychiatric disorders

The correct answer is: A mix of psychiatric and substance use disorders

The MINI, or the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview, is specifically designed to evaluate a range of psychiatric disorders alongside substance use disorders. This structured diagnostic interview is widely used in both clinical and research settings due to its efficiency and reliability. The inclusion of both psychiatric disorders and substance use disorders allows for a comprehensive assessment, making it a valuable tool for clinicians aiming to understand the full spectrum of a patient’s mental health status. By effectively covering both areas, the MINI facilitates more accurate diagnosis and subsequently informs treatment decisions that can address the multifaceted nature of an individual's health concerns. This dual focus is essential, as substance use can often co-occur with various psychiatric conditions, thus requiring an integrated approach to assessment and care.
