Interviewer instructions

After a woman has given birth, there is a length of time when she will not have her monthly menstrual periods (postpartum amenorrhea). Q300b-300c asks about whether a woman's period has resumed following the last birth which was reported at the baseline. If yes, ask which month the menstrual period returned.
