Interviewer instructions
A woman who is currently using a family planning method (code '1' in Question 9) should be asked about the method currently being used. Encircle the code corresponding to the method currently being used by the ER. If the respondent does not know the name, ask her to describe how she uses the method and encircle the appropriate code. If she is hesitant to mention the method currently being used, show the list of codes provided (2000 FPS Form 3) and let her choose the method she is currently using.
If the ER reported that she is currently using rhythm as her family planning method, ascertain how she uses the method. Encircle 08 for calendar/ rhythm/periodic abstinence if she says that she marks in the calendar the unsafe (or for some, the safe) period for reproduction. Encircle 09 for mucus/Billings or ovulation if she checks the consistency of the vaginal mucus to determine the time of ovulation. Encircle 10 for thermometer or basal body temperature if the time of ovulation is gauged by observing the fluctuations in the woman's temperature during the menstrual cycle. Encircle 11 if she is using lactational amenorrhea method (LAM). It should be noted that LAM should be encircled only if the ER explicitly mentioned LAM as her family planning method. Before reporting the ER as a LAM user, ascertain if:
1. she is amenorrheic (not menstruating);
2. she is breastfeeding the baby, day and night, without supplementation (that is, the baby is not given other foods except vitamins and/or water); and
3. the baby is less than six months old. Check if Q6 has an entry for a child born from October 1999 to April 2000.
If any of the three conditions is not met, ask the respondent for any other method she is currently using and report that method.
Only one method should be reported as currently being used. If the woman mentions more than one method, determine which method should be reported in Question 11 using the following criteria:
1. Rhythm with another method -
Example:
rhythm and withdrawal
rhythm and condom
rhythm and diaphragm/foam/jelly/cream
Report the other method since rhythm refers to abstinence from sex during the fertile period.
2. Combination of other methods -
If ligation is used in combination with any other method, encircle 06 for ligation/female sterilization.
If using any method which requires supply/service (01-07) and any method which does not require supply/service (08-13), encircle the method which requires supply/service (01-07). An exception is a LAM user who meets the three conditions but at the same time is using a back-up method which requires supply/service. In this case encircle code 11 for LAM.
If the woman is ligated or using IUD and her partner has had a vasectomy, consider the method used by the woman as the current method. Encircle the corresponding code.
If the above conditions are not satisfied, encircle the code of the method used most often.
If LAM is used with other method which does not require supply/service (08-13), report LAM as the method currently used (in Question 11).
If the ER reported that she is practicing breastfeeding as a method of family planning, ascertain if she does not qualify as a LAM user. Once ascertained, encircle 13 for 'Other' and write 'Breastfeeding' in the space provided. If she mentions prolonged abstinence, abortion, or certain traditional herbs or medicines as the family planning method she is currently using, encircle 13 and write the name of the method.
