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").

[Mario] has been told that he has epilepsy and that he needs to take medication. The doctor has very briefly explained what the condition is. He is very busy
and there is a queue of patients waiting to see him. Mario would like to know more about what he has, but feels that there is no time to ask questions. The
doctor says goodbye to Mario, and Mario leaves the office.

Literal question

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