Correction to: BMC Res Notes (2018) 11:27 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13104-018-3139-6

After publication of our article [1] we became aware that we had not obtained permission to reproduce the questions from the eight-item Morisky’s Medication Adherence Scale. The table in this Correction replaces Table 2 in our article. In addition, the second number for the MMAS-8 question 2 was incorrect and has been updated to 223 (79.6).

Table 2 A summary of responses to the eight-item Morisky’s Medication Adherence Scale [24] among adult hypertensive patients at Jimma University Specialized Hospital March 4, 2015 to April 3, 2015

The reference which is cited in the above table caption can be reviewed in our article.
