Question pretext

Question post text

PROBE: For how long have you been using (CURRENT METHOD) now without stopping?

Interviewer instructions

If the respondent does not remember the date of her (her partner's) sterilization operation, probe to help her remember. Relating the date to the age and date of birth of her youngest child may help. You must get a date, even if it is just your best estimate. For users of other family planning methods, ask when she started using the method most recently without stopping.

Example: A woman started using the pill in June 2007. A few months later, she stopped taking the pill because she wanted to become pregnant. She gave birth to a child in January 2009 and started using the pill again in March 2009. When interviewed, she is still using the pill. In this case, select '03' for MONTH and '2009' for YEAR.
