Medication Non-Adherence Tools

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.

Dr.Chris Ehimi.

Hello Sir,
i would like authorization to use the MMAS-4 in my PhD research. my study assesses adherence among hypertensive and HIV patients in 2 Nigerian hospitals.
Sir, the fee to use the MMAS-4 is far above my budget.
i am therefore kindly requesting free authentication from you.
Thank you.

Hello Dr. Morisky, my team and me are working in a research in a group of patients with chronic urticaria so we will need to assess adherence to treatment using your scale, I have asked it in your page but I have not received any answer. Please help us in the way we could obtain your license to use your scale. Thank you.

Sir,
I work at one of the public hospitals in small Kingdom called Kingdom of Bhutan. I am doing a small study to see the adherence rate to anti-diabetic medication in Bhutan using your 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Score (MMAS-8) tool for this study.
I would like to request Author to kindly grant me permission to use the tool. I cannot afford for the tool, and my study would help my community immensely.
Thank you.
