Warning: these figures indicate the number of cases found in the data file. They cannot be interpreted as summary statistics of the population of interest.
Record the respondent's answer in the units that she uses. For example, if she says "3 weeks ago," encircle "2" and record "03" in the boxes for weeks ago. If she says "four days ago," encircle "1" and record "04" in the boxes for days ago. 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?" and others.
If the respondent gives you the date that her last menstrual period began, write the date in the space provided on the questionnaire. Calculate the amount of time that has passed, and record it. 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. If she tells you she is in menopause, encircle “994”. If she has not menstruated since the birth of her last child, encircle “995”. If she has never menstruated, encircle “996”.
