Mini-Mental® State Examination,
2nd Edition™ (MMSE-2™)

Marshal F. Folstein, MD and Susan E. Folstein, MD
User’s Manual by Marshal F. Folstein, MD, Susan E. Folstein, MD, Travis White, PhD, and Melissa A. Messer, MHS

With a new standard version that is equivalent to the original MMSE and new brief and expanded forms, the MMSE-2 retains the original's clinical utility and efficiency while expanding its usefulness in populations with milder forms of cognitive impairment, including subcortical dementia.

Equivalent, alternate forms (Blue and Red) of each MMSE-2 version have been developed to decrease the possibility of practice effects that can occur over serial examinations. In addition, the Pocket Norms Guide has been updated to include norms for all three versions of the MMSE-2 by age and education level, and it includes reliable change scores to facilitate serial testing with any of the MMSE-2 versions.

Foreign language translations, including Spanish for the US, German, and Italian, will soon be available. Visit www.parinc.com for more information.
