Questions and instructions

Question pretext

I am now going to read you stories about people's experiences with health care services. I wanted you to think about these people's experiences as if they were your own. Once I have finished reading each story, I will ask you to rate what happened in th estory as very good, good, moderate, bad or very bad.

Use in vignettes country specific female/male first names to match sex of the respondent (with exceptions specified in the "Guide to Administration and Question by Question Specifications").

In [William] ’s town there is a large day clinic where there are several doctors and nurses. When [William] has a sensitive health problem he can see a male
rather than a female doctor or nurse.

Literal question

How would you rate [William’s] freedom to choose his health care
provider?
