Interviewer instructions
We want to know her opinions about various aspects of each method. Note that we are not asking her knowledge about a method. Rather, we want to know her perceptions or belief towards use, side effects, and safety of each method.
You want to know about women's beliefs about if the method causes health problems. 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. If she says a method is likely to cause health problems, ask if they are likely to be serious or not serious. Seriousness of health problems will be defined by a respondent. If she says it causes headache and irregular menstrual cycles and she considered it a serious problem that can adversely affect her health, select the response code 'YES, SERIOUS'. But some may say it causes irregular menstrual cycles, but they may think it is not a serious problem. In this case select the response code 'YES, NOT SERIOUS'.
