Questions and instructions

Question pretext

VIGNETTES FOR HEALTH STATE DESCRIPTIONS
I will now read to you some descriptions of persons with varying levels of difficulties in different areas of health. I would like to know how you view each of these descriptions and rate how much of a problem or difficulty the person described has in that area of health in the same way that you described your health to me. While giving the rating, think of the person as someone who is of your age and background.

Cognition and Self Care
[Peter] does not recognize even close relatives and gets lost when he leaves the house unaccompanied. Even when prompted, he shows no recollection of
events or recognition of relatives. It is impossible for him to acquire any new knowledge as even simple instructions leave him confused.

Literal question

Overall in the last 30 days overall how much difficulty did [name of the
person] have with concentrating or remembering things?
