I haven't had any visits to a doctor

Recommendations:
Question: It is not clear what kind of money/expenditure is involved in the question and to what extent these costs must be borne privately. As far as we know, the medical care of refugees/asylum seekers is paid for by the social service office or, in the case of residence status, by the job centre. However, additional costs up to a certain amount have to be borne by themselves or an exemption has to be applied for. This should be made clearer in the question. If additional costs (travel costs, medical aids) are of particular interest, the following question should be asked explicitly (possibly in a separate question):
"Did you also have expenses for travel to the doctor, clinic or social institutions or expenses for child care due to your visit to the doctor, and if so, how high were these?”
[„Hatten Sie darüber hinaus Ausgaben für Reisekosten zum Arzt, der Klinik oder sozialen Einrichtungen oder Ausgaben für Kinderbetreuung aufgrund Ihres Arztbesuchs und wenn ja, wie hoch waren diese?“]
In addition, we recommend placing a filter in front of the question so that this question only goes to respondents who have been to primary care physicians or specialists in the last 4 weeks.
The reference to "own doctor's visits" should be highlighted in the question text.
The notes in brackets should be followed by the instruction that only numerical values should be entered here (see ENG01).
Answer options: No changes recommended.
