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.

Note that this question is asked to non-pregnant women who are not currently using any method or mentioned using only emergency contraception. There may be many reasons that a person is not 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 'NOT HAVING SEX' if respondent says she is not sexually active at all.

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

'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.

Code 'BREASTFEEDING' if she is exclusively breastfeeding her infant younger than 6 months.

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

Code '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.

If the woman does not know any family planning method, code 'KNOWS NO METHOD'. But if she knows the methods and does not know from where to obtain the method, code 'KNOWS NO SOURCE'.

'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'.
