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").

When [Penelope] had fertility problems, she had to travel from her small village to the closest town where they only had one male doctor. [Penelope] wanted
to see a female doctor but she had no choice.

Literal question

How would you rate [Penelope’s] freedom to choose her health care
provider?
