Morisky Medication Adherence Scale

The Morisky Medication Adherence Scale is a brief, validated tool developed by Donald Morisky in 1986 to measure patients' adherence to prescribed medications. Originally created to assess hypertension medication compliance, it has since become a standard screening instrument across chronic disease management, primary care, and pharmaceutical research. The scale is valued for its brevity, ease of administration, and predictive validity for clinical outcomes.
