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").

[Rose] cannot write or read. She went to the doctor because she was feeling dizzy. The doctor didn’t have time to answer her questions or to explain anything.
He sent her away with a piece of paper without telling her what it said.

Literal question

How would you rate her experience of getting enough time to ask
questions about her health problem or treatment?
