Question pretext

Question post text

IF RESPONDENT OR HER HUSBAND/PARTNER IS STERILIZED, RECODE 95.

Interviewer instructions

This section collects information relating to the use of various contraceptive methods, which a couple can use to avoid or delay pregnancy. A respondent may consider the topic of contraception and family planning a personal matter, and she may feel embarrassed to talk about it. To overcome her embarrassment, you must show that you do not feel embarrassed or uncomfortable in any way. Ask these questions as if they were no different from any other questions in the questionnaire. If she is hesitant to answer any of these questions, reassure her that everything she says will be treated confidentially and that the same questions are being asked of women all over the country.

Q405 asks how many more months/years she wants to use this method. If she says “2 more years, select 'YEARS' and write '2'. If she said she is sterilized or her husband/partner is sterilized, select 'STERILIZED' and move to Q601. As sterilization is a permanent method, this question does not make a sense to ask them.

Although other options such as “until another child wanted” and 'until no longer any need” are provided, try to probe for a numeric response
