Interviewer instructions
The question asks from what source the woman obtained her method at the time she started the current segment of use, or where she obtained advice about how to use the method in the case of the lactational amenorrhea or rhythm methods. For methods that require the user to obtain resupplies, the user may first obtain the method from one source and then rely on a different provider for resupply. For example, a woman using the pill may have first obtained the pill from a family planning clinic but then gone to a pharmacy for resupply. You can guide the user to tell you about the first source by referring to the date she told you that she began the current segment of use. If the respondent is using condoms with her husband, ask, “Where did you obtain the condoms when you began using them this time?” If she says her husband or someone else got the method for her, ask whether she knows where that person got it, and record the source. If the method required a prescription, this question pertains to where the prescription was filled. When choosing a code, you need to know the type of place the method was obtained from, i.e., if the place is in the public sector (run by the government) or in the private sector. If it is run by a non-governmental organization, it should be considered private. Select PRIVATE DOCTOR only if the doctor has his own facility/clinic that is not located within a larger facility. If the respondent does not know whether the place is public or private, record the name of the place, and inform your supervisor. Your supervisor will find out and record the type of source the facility is.
