Interviewer instructions
We want to know if her husband/partner know/knew you are/were using a method. This question will not be asked for condom because husband/partner certainly know/knew if they use the method.
Note that this question is asked to women who said they are/were unsatisfied with a method in Q618. There may be many reasons that a person is/was unsatisfied with a method, so listen to your respondent carefully. Record as many reasons as the woman mentions. The following are some guides to use in deciding which code(s) to mark:
Code 'EXPERIENCED SIDE EFFECTS' if the respondent says she is/was unsatisfied with a contraceptive method because she experienced side effects. Side effects are undesirable consequences of using a method that do not adversely affect the health of the user.
Code 'IRREGULAR MENSTURAL CYCLE' if the respondent says she is/was unsatisfied with a contraceptive method due to irregular menstrual cycle that is likely to be caused by the method.
Code 'CONCERNED ABOUT HEALTH PROBLEMS', if the respondent says she thinks she is concerned about health problems. Health concerns include consequences of using a method the respondent thinks may affect her health. For example, the respondent may say she is concerned because she heard the pill might be linked to breast cancer, infertility, cancer or any negative consequences.
Code 'GOT PREGNANT WHILE USING' if the respondent says she became pregnant while she was using a method.
'RESPONDENT OPPOSED' means that the respondent herself does not approve of family planning. It is possible that some women may change her attitudes towards a method after having used it, and oppose the method.
Code 'HUSBAND/PARTNER OPPOSED', if the respondent's husband or partner dislikes/disliked a method. Reasons of his dislikes could be due to being not easy to use for him, costs, distance, concerns about health problems, or opposition to use of the method.
If she says she is/was unsatisfied because someone other than her husband or partner tells her they are opposed to her using the method or all family planning, code 'OTHERS OPPOSED'.
Code 'LACK OF ACCESS/TOO FAR', if she says there is no place to get a method or the source is too far.
Code 'COST TOO MUCH', if she says the cost of a method is too much. The cost includes not only the cost of a method but also travel costs.
Code 'STOCK-OUT', if she says a method is out-of-stock in a source, such as health facility or drug seller.
Code 'NOT EASY TO USE', if she considers the contraceptive methods to be too troublesome to use, such as being messy or hard to remember when to take a pill or get the next shot of injection. This is inconvenient to use, but not inconvenient to get the method, since lack of access is a separate category.
If the woman's main reason is not listed as a response, select 'OTHER' and write her response on the OTHER line.
