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").

[Mark] had a serious health problem. The doctor prescribed the best treatment for Mark but without telling him the implications on his quality of life or the
cost. [Mark] felt powerless and was not given any information to help him to feel more in control.

Literal question

How would you rate [Mark’s] experience of being involved in making
decisions about his health care or treatment?
