Question post text

CIRCLE ALL MENTIONED. IF MALE STERILIZATION IS REPORTED, STILL PROBE FOR ANY OTHER METHODS. IF MORE THAN ONE METHOD MENTIONED, FOLLOW SKIP INSTRUCTION FOR HIGHEST METHOD IN LIST.

Interviewer instructions

These questions are some of the most important in the questionnaire. Depending on the method a respondent mentions, you may need to probe to determine that the method is being used currently. For example, coitus-related methods such as condoms, vaginal methods and withdrawal are used with each act of intercourse, so current users of these methods should have used them during the most recent acts of intercourse. Current users of the pill should be taking pills daily. Other methods provide ongoing protection without daily or regular action by the woman. Contraceptive injections may have been administered two to six months earlier and still provide protection, while implants provide protection for up to five years, or until removed. An IUD, once inserted, protects against pregnancy until it is removed or expelled. Female and male sterilization provide permanent protection against pregnancy. Thus, if the woman reported in Q. 302 that she had been sterilized in order to avoid having another child, you will select FEMALE STERILIZATION as the current method. If the woman's current partner has been sterilized, you will select MALE STERILIZATION as the current method. If, however, she is no longer married to (or living with) a partner who had a vasectomy, this should not be noted as the current method.

If the woman mentions more than one method, select all the methods that are currently being used. If more than one method is selected, follow the skip instruction for the highest method on the list and ask the subsequent questions about that method. Check to be sure that the response to Q.309 is consistent with the responses to Q. 301 and Q302. For example, the respondent may say that she is using the pill but reported in Q. 301 that she did not know the pill or reported in Q. 302 that she has never used the pill. If this happens, probe further and correct the responses in Q. 301 to Q.309 as necessary.
