MINI Derivatives

Derivates

Based on the manual of the MINI (version 5.0.0) derivates are calculated for each diagnosis . The derivates define whether a participant meets the criteria for a certain diagnosis.
Derivates are available for all Lifelines versions of the MINI. Note that MINI v1 differs significantly from the other versions in that the available derivates pertain to 'last year' instead of 'current' diagnoses and were made in R. For all other versions derivates have been calculated using SPSS syntax.
For the MINI D/v4, items that have been subdivided from the original MINI were rejoined, which made calculations of derivates and comparison with the other versions possible.
Derivates that have been calculated are:

  • Current depressive episode
  • Lifetime depressive episode
  • Current dysthymia
  • Current panic disorder without agoraphobia
  • Current panic disorder with agoraphobia
  • Current agoraphobia without panic disorder
  • Lifetime panic disorder
  • Current social phobia
  • Current generalized anxiety disorder

These derivates should be used to define if a participant meets the criteria (according to the manual of the MINI) for a certain diagnosis.
