An international scale for all women

All known MRS versions are available below in PDF-format (Adobe Acrobat). As most translations followed recognised methodology for language adaptation and we assume that the translations have linguistic and cultural equivalence.

People interested in applying the MRS in their research can download the appropriate language version and use it without any formal permission. However, as a courtesy, please let us known of your intentions so that we can keep an overview of the reasons for the scales use.

If the scale is applied to countries with the “same” language, e.g. Spain and Mexico, United Kingdom and the United States, a critical review of the translation should be conducted in order to ensure cultural as well as linguistic equivalence.  In some cases, a new translation may be necessary.
