Interviewer instructions

Note that this question asks how long the respondent wanted to wait before becoming pregnant, not before giving birth. Select the appropriate unit (either months or years) and record the response given. If the respondent gives a general answer such as “I would have liked to have waited until I was ready,” ask her how many months or years she would have liked to have waited. Record the extra time that she said she would have preferred to wait before becoming pregnant.

Example: A woman became pregnant 18 months after her previous birth but she tells you she would have preferred a two-year (24-month) interval before becoming pregnant again. You would select MONTHS and record '06' (24-18 = 6).
