Interviewer instructions

First, ask Q. 238 to see whether the woman thinks there are times during a woman's monthly cycle when she is more likely to become pregnant. If she says there is no time that is more likely than another or she does not know, record the response and skip to Q. 301. If she says there is a time when a woman is more likely to become pregnant, record YES and ask Q239. Make sure to read the entire question mentioning each of the four possible times before accepting her response.
