      "Please look at SHOWCARD 32. Please specify the periods in which you needed medication which you could not afford because of high costs. Please try to remember all periods in which you have forgone your medication.
      [Bitte sehen Sie sich Karte 32 an. Bitte nennen Sie die Zeiträume, in denen Sie Medikamente benötigt haben, die Sie sich aufgrund zu hoher Kosten nicht leisten konnten. Bitte versuchen Sie sich an alle Zeiträume zu erinnern, in denen Sie auf die Einnahme von Medikamenten verzichtet haben.]"
      Answer Categories: Again, the scale in the current version does not include the exact age of 15 years. Therefore we recommend changing the first answer category in “When I was younger than 16 years old. [Als ich bis 16 Jahre alt war.]"
