Interviewer instructions

3) Q401b: EVER USE
Then, for each method with 'YES' code selected in 401a, ask 401b. Select 'YES' if method has ever been used, then ask the same question for each method with 'YES' selected in 401a.

Note that Q401b for FEMALE AND MALE STERLIZATION need to be phrased differently as they are permanent methods. You could say:

“Have you had an operation to avoid having any more children?
“Has your husband/partner had an operation to avoid having any more children?”
