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").

[Nathan] lives in a town where there are lots of doctors and clinics. He tried one doctor but he didn’t like him so he changed doctors. This was easy to do
because he could go where he wanted.

Literal question

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