This is important in any study of fertility since menstruation is directly linked to pregnancy. Record the respondent's answer in the units that she uses.\n\n\n\nExample: if she says \u201cthree weeks ago,\u201d select ''WEEKS AGO' and record '03'. If she says \u201cFour days ago,\u201d select 'DAYS AGO' and record '04'. If the respondent appears to be rounding off her answer, probe for an exact answer. For example, if she says \u201cAbout a week ago,\u201d say, \u201cDo you remember which day? Was it before or after the weekend?\u201d\n\nIf she tells you she is in menopause, select IN MENOPAUSE. If she has had a hysterectomy, select HAS HAD HYSTERECTOMY. A hysterectomy is an operation to remove the uterus. If she has not menstruated since the birth of her last child, select BEFORE LAST BIRTH. If she has never menstruated, select NEVER MENSTRUATED. In some cases, the respondent may give you the date that her last menstrual period began. If that happens, write the date in the space provided on the questionnaire. Then calculate the length of time since that date, and record it in the appropriate units. Note that it is not necessary to obtain a date. The space is provided only for cases in which the respondent gives you a date.","var_val_range":[{"units":null,"min":"1344","max":"1354"}],"var_universe":"All women aged 12-49 years","universe_clusion":"I","var_sumstat":[{"value":"21","type":"vald"},{"value":"6582","type":"invd"}],"var_txt":"Date of last menstrual period (cmc time format)","var_catgry":[{"value":"1344","labl":null,"stats":"1","type":"freq"},{"value":"1350","labl":null,"stats":"1","type":"freq"},{"value":"1351","labl":null,"stats":"12","type":"freq"},{"value":"1352","labl":null,"stats":"2","type":"freq"},{"value":"1353","labl":null,"stats":"1","type":"freq"},{"value":"1354","labl":null,"stats":"4","type":"freq"},{"value":"Sysmiss","labl":null,"stats":"6582","type":"freq"}],"var_format":"numeric","var_format_schema":"other","fid":"F39","sid":"74","survey_idno":"APHRC-NCSS2-2014-v1.0"}
