Interviewer instructions

Note that this question is asked to women who are not currently using any method or mentioned using only emergency contraception. There may be many reasons that a person is not be using contraception, so listen to your respondent carefully. Record as many reasons as the woman mentions. The following are some guides to use in deciding which response(s) to select:

Code 'WANT ANOTHER CHILD SOON' if the respondent says she is not using a contraceptive method because she wants a (another) child now/soon.

Code 'INFREQUENT SEX' if the respondent says she is not sexually active enough to be using a method.

'NOT HAVING SEX' would be the appropriate code if she says she is not sexually active at all.

'MENOPAUSAL' means she is no longer menstruating and therefore cannot get pregnant, and 'HYSTERECTOMY' is an operation to remove her uterus.

Code 'CAN'T GET PREGNANT', if the respondent says she thinks she cannot get pregnant for reasons other than she is menopausal or has had a hysterectomy.

Code 'NOT MENSTRUATED SINCE LAST BIRTH' if the respondent says her period has not returned since her last birth.

'UP TO GOD/FATALISTIC' means that the respondent feels that the pregnancy is predetermined by fate and she has no control over pregnancy.

'RESPONDENT OPPOSED' means that the respondent herself does not approve of family planning.

If her husband or partner is opposed to family planning, select 'HUSBAND/PARTNER OPPOSED'.

If she says she is not using because someone other than her husband or partner tells her they are opposed to her using family planning, select 'OTHERS OPPOSED'.

'RELIGIOUS PROHIBITION' means that she feels her religion does not allow the use of family planning.

'SIDE EFFECTS/HEALTH CONCERNS': Side effects are undesirable consequences of using a method that do not adversely affect the health of the user. For example, side effects may be spotting or bleeding with the pill. Health concerns include consequences of using a method the respondent thinks may affect her health. For example, the respondent may say she heard the pill may be linked to breast cancer.

'INCONVENIENT TO USE' would be if she considers the contraceptive methods to be too troublesome to use, such as being messy. This is inconvenient to use, but not inconvenient to get the method, since 'LACK OF ACCESS/TOO FAR' is a separate category.

If the woman's main reason is not listed as a response, select OTHER and write her response in the line provided.

If the woman does not know at all why she is not using contraception, record 'DON'T KNOW'.
