Unauthorized use of the Morisky Scale

10/19/2019

The consequence of not obtaining appropriate permission to use the 4-item or 8-item Morisky Scales will result in legal action and in some cases a retraction of published articles. Unfortunately in recent years, there has been negative publicity in the use of my scales because of the aggressive and threatening demands from my former business partner. I have reorganized and embarked on a management approach that utilizes best practices in dealing with clients, including those who have infringed on copyrights. My focus is on maintaining the integrity of my copyright and encouringing scientific research. If you have infringed on my copyrights please contact me for a retroactive license. In most cases we can resolve the infringement through training on the Morisky Protocol.

Dear sir,
I need your kind authorization to use the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale 8, inorder to carry out a Hospital based research.

This research is Hospital based located in a Low-Middle income country. I cannot afford the fee for the authorization, because it is well beyond my financial resources.

Thank you sir, in anticipation for a favourable response.

Warm regards and God bless you sir.

We just discovered that your tool is not for free and we are desperately seeking permission and willing to pay student rates.

A HUGE ADVANTAGE for using the Morisky Scales is the ability to tailor the health condition and medication(s) with MAPI validated translations.

Additionally, global translations must ensure that what we are asking is actually what is intended to be asked, we partner with an ISO17100:2015 services provider to translate customized questions using medical conditions and complex medication names.

Subject: Permission to Use Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) in GDM Study

Dear Dr. Morisky,

My name is Nishma, and I am an Indian pharmacist currently working on a self-motivated research project to improve the quality of life for Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) patients. I'm writing to request your kind permission to use the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS) in my study.

I deeply appreciate your groundbreaking work in developing this validated tool, which has significantly improved the assessment of medication adherence in various settings. I believe the MMAS, specifically the 4-item and 8-item versions, would be invaluable in my research to accurately assess medication adherence among GDM patients and subsequently develop targeted interventions to improve their health outcomes.

While I understand the importance of licensing fees, I'm a self-funded researcher working on a non-commercial project. Therefore, I would be incredibly grateful if you could consider waiving the licensing fee for my study. This would allow me to fully utilize the MMAS and contribute to the understanding of medication adherence in GDM management.

I assure you that I will adhere to all ethical guidelines and acknowledge the use of the MMAS in any publications or presentations arising from my research. I am confident that my study will contribute valuable insights to the field of GDM care and ultimately benefit the health of pregnant women with this condition.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your positive response and the opportunity to utilize your valuable tool in my research.

Sincerely,

Nishma

Good day, sir

My name is Sara Ali, a final year Sudanese MBBS candidate with an interest in pediatric hematology. My research topic for submission of my graduation thesis is on Factors affecting adherence to hydroxyurea in patients with sickle cell disease. I ran across your medication adherence rating scale as I was reviewing
literatures and searching for possible questionnaires to use, and found your scale to be the best for my study. May I use this scale for my study (with full citation and note of permission of course)?

Thank you for your time and consideration Dr, have a lovely day

I am currently conducting a research study titled "Evaluation of Medication Adherence and Its Impact on the Quality of Life in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus at Dr. Tadjuddin Chalid Hospital, Makassar”.

My study is supervised by Mr. Anshar Saud, S.Si, M.Farm., Apt, a lecturer and research advisor at Hasanuddin University.

To achieve the objectives of this study, I would like to request permission to use the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) as the primary instrument to assess medication adherence.

I understand that the MMAS-8 is a copyrighted instrument, and I am fully prepared to comply with the necessary licensing procedures.

However, as I am a student conducting research with a very limited budget, I would like to kindly ask if there is any possibility of obtaining the license for the MMAS-8 free of charge or at a reduced cost for academic purposes. I would greatly appreciate your consideration of this request, as it would significantly help in the successful completion of my study.

Please let me know the necessary steps to proceed, and I will ensure that all conditions for the instrument’s use are fulfilled.

Thank you for your time and for developing such a valuable tool for research and clinical practice. I look forward to your response.
