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").

[Tara] is unhappy and has no energy. She gave birth to a baby girl two months ago and the doctor has told her that she may be suffering from depression. The
doctor discussed her condition with her and then suggested that she could either try some medication or, if she prefers, talk to a counsellor.

Literal question

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