Distributive Justice in Healthcare Experiment

The scarcity of healthcare resources continuously forces the physicians to make difficult decisions about which patients should receive treatment the first. Many people have debated whether race, nationality, financial status, or prior health status of the patients influence such decisions. More recently, debate has also focused on whether patients with certain unpopular behaviours should receive scarce health resources [1, 2]. Such decisions might be based on several factors, which the following questionnaire aims to identify.

Below, you will see two different groups of questionnaires. Each questionnaire has six questions, and the grouping is done such that the questionnaires belonging to the same group do not contain identical questions (so that you don't get bored), but feel free to do all them. Please do not repeat the same questionnaire, since it will distort the data.

I am planning to keep this experiment active for a long time, but I will start analyzing the data as soon as I reach a good enough sample size, and write a post about it to explain what is going on :)

For any comments, ideas, or recommendations, please feel free to e-mail me.

P.S. : Too many people solved Questionnaire 1.a only, so I disabled it for a while now (come on you can do better than just the first button, be random!).
