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").

[Akiko] is in hospital after a car accident. She has lots of scratches, bruises and some broken bones. When the doctor visited her he asked to see her medical
records. He asked the nurse some questions and then he said that [Akiko] was making good progress. [Akiko] supposes that she will still stay there for another
week but is unsure.

Literal question

How would you rate her experience of how clearly health care providers
explained things to her?
