Interviewer instructions

Qs1214-1218 are about the young women's attitudes towards contraception and the women's self efficacy in using contraceptives even in the face of parental/partner prohibition. These questions are not about the actual situation of the young woman responding to the questionnaire but rather she is supposed to imagine if the said scenarios were ever to happen in real life.
