[Interviewer to remain silent after asking question until interviewee responds. Repeat question if asked.]
Prompt 1:	Please share any memorable examples of what you would consider a good or poor death.
Prompt 2:	Does where someone dies affect your thinking about a good or poor death? For example, does the location of death such as the person's home, or hospice, or a nursing home, or medicalized settings, such as the hospital or intensive care unit, affect whether it was a good or poor death?
