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").

[Elma] was asked to describe a serious health problem to the doctor in the middle of the waiting room. The doctor repeated everything to the nurse and all the
other patients, many of whom knew her family, could overhear everything.

Literal question

How would you rate the way the health services ensured [Elma] could talk
privately to health care providers?
