We receive numerous requests from clinicians, academics, and student researchers for permission to use of the Happiness Measures (HM) in their clinical and/or research efforts. If you follow the stipulations below, consider yourself authorized to reduplicate and use the HM as much as you need for your projects.

First, for our records, please submit an e-mail representing your credentials, affiliation, and intended use of  the HM to us at: gethappy_net@hotmail.com .  Unless you hear from us to the contrary within 7 days of your e-mail,   you have permission to go forward and use the HM as you propose. Second, we also ask to share any resultant data, papers, and/or publications with us - either in a brief summary or direct references - at the same e-mail address.
