Literal question
Now I would like to talk about family planning - the various ways or methods that a couple can use to delay or avoid a pregnancy.
Which ways or methods have you heard about?
Lactational Amenorrhea Method (LAM).
PROBE: Up to six months after childbirth, before the menstrual period has returned, women use a method requiring frequent breastfeeding day and night.
Interviewer instructions
The contraceptive table (Figure 2) is used to record the information that the respondent provides about her knowledge and use of specific contraceptive methods in response to Q. 401. This is how you should work through this table:
1) Read the introductory sentence at the top of the table.
a) Ask the question “which methods or ways have you heard about?”
2) Q401a: KNOWLEDGE
Then, starting at the top of the list, select 'YES' in Q401a for each method mentioned spontaneously.
Then ask, “Have you ever heard of (METHOD)?”, then proceed down column Q401a, reading the name and description of each method not mentioned spontaneously. Select 'YES' if method is recognized, and 'NO' if not recognized.
