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").

[Kamal] has a nervous breakdown and had to spend 3 months in the past year in the local hospital. He had to sleep on an uncomfortable mattress with no
sheets. There were 30 other patients in the same dormitory style ward and the toilets would smell, because they were not cleaned. He came back with a skin
infection, because he couldn’t wash regularly and there were insects in the bed.

Literal question

How would you rate the amount of space [Kamal] had?
