This survey examined perceptions of health care provider quality in the United States. To that end, the survey respondents were asked what they thought was the most important factor that makes a high quality doctor or other health care provider and the most important factor that makes a poor quality one (hereafter "provider" denotes "doctor or other health care provider"). Additionally, respondents were asked about the importance of various provider attributes in their choice of a provider; whether there is a relationship between the quality and cost of health care; exposure to and trust in information about the quality of providers from various sources; and cost versus quality when choosing providers. Other topics covered by the survey include self-reported health, utilization of health care, quality of health care received and health insurance coverage. Background variables collected by the survey include age, sex, race, Hispanic ethnicity, marital status, education, employment status and political identification.Cf: http://doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR36055.v1
