Scientific research has consistently supported the MINI's reliability and validity. For instance, a study on the MINI's accuracy in diagnosing Bipolar and Major Depressive Disorders found the tool had a sensitivity of 87.2% for Bipolar Disorder and a specificity of 87.2% for Major Depressive Disorder when compared to clinical interviews. Other studies have validated the ADHD module of the MINI-Plus, finding it to have "acceptable criterion validity" for screening adult ADHD in patients with substance use disorders. These results establish MINI as a robust and trustworthy diagnostic instrument.
