Interviewer instructions
In this section, information is collected about the births that a woman has had during her life, her current pregnancy status, and her knowledge of the monthly menstrual cycle. This is a particularly important section, and you need to be especially careful to obtain all the required information.
Ask whether the respondent thinks that there is a chance that a woman can get pregnant after giving birth but before her menstrual period returns is none, low or high. Please make sure to read the whole two sentences. It is important to explicitly ask “would you say no chance, low chance, high chance of becoming pregnant?”
