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.

QUESTION 306 -319 REFER TO WOMEN WHO ARE CURRENTLY PREGNANT

Note that this question asks respondents who say that they wanted to wait longer to have a/another baby in Q. 309, how long they wanted to wait before becoming pregnant, not before giving birth. Record the answer in either months or years, and circle the corresponding code. If the respondent gives a general answer such as “I would have liked to have waited until I was ready,” ask her how many months or years she wanted to wait. Record the extra time that she said she would have preferred to wait before becoming pregnant.

Example: A woman became pregnant 18 months after her previous birth but she tells you she would have preferred a two-year (24-month) interval before becoming pregnant again. You would select MONTHS and record '06' in the adjacent boxes (24-18 = 6).

Note that the answer can be given in months or years. Select 'months' if the response is in months or 'years' if in years, and record the answer in the appropriate boxes. If she says she doesn't know, record DON'T KNOW (code 98).
