Interviewer instructions

Q. 626 applies to the respondent's last, or most recent, sexual encounter. We would like to find out the relationship between the woman and the man with whom she had her most recent sexual encounter. Select the woman's response and if not in the list, select 'other' and specify by writing the response given.

Q626A asks about the time that has passed since the woman's last sexual encounter. Fill in the respondent's answer in the space according to the units that she uses. The YEARS AGO row should be used only if the last intercourse was at least one year ago. In other words, there should never be a response '00' YEARS.

Example: if she says “three weeks ago,” select 'WEEKS AGO' and write '03' in the boxes. If she says “four days ago,” select 'DAYS AGO' and write '04'. If the respondent appears to be rounding off her answer, probe for an exact answer. For example, if she says “about a week ago,” ask, “Do you remember which day? Was it before or after the weekend?”

In some cases, you may have to convert a respondent's answer.

Example: if the respondent says, “last night,” select DAYS AGO and write '00'. If she has not yet resumed intercourse since she had her last child, check Q. 215 for the month and year of birth of her last child, and ask how long before the birth of that child she last had sex.

Continue with Q. 626A-626K where we shall ask about multiple sexual partnerships, condom use and balance of power within the woman's sexual relationship.
