Question post text

Interviewer instructions

Qs. 403: FILTER FOR CURRENT USE OF CONTRACEPTION
Check Q401c and identify the method she is currently using or has used in the last 4 weeks, and select the method in Q403. If the woman mentions more than one method in Q401c, select the code for all methods that are currently being used. If more than one method is selected, follow the skip instruction for the highest method on the list and ask the subsequent questions about that method.

If a respondent is not using any method, select 'NO CURRENT USE' or if using emergency contraception, select code 'EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION', and skip to 410. As emergency method is a one-off method, the users are considered non-users in the subsequent questions.

Example: If she says she used rhythm method and condom in the last 4 weeks, and also used emergency contraception in the past 4 weeks just to be safe, select 'CONDOM' as the highest method. Then move to Q404.

Example: If she says she used rhythm method in the last 4 weeks, and also used emergency contraception in the past 4 weeks just to be safe, you will select 'RHYTHM METHOD' as the highest method. Then move to Q404.

Example: If she says she used emergency contraception in the past 4 weeks, select EMERGENCY CONTRACEPTION, the highest method. Then move to Q410.
