Interviewer instructions
Some methods are effective for different lengths of time, so you may have some difficulty deciding if a particular respondent is currently using a method. Since coitus-related methods such as condoms, vaginal methods and withdrawal are used with each act of intercourse, current users of these methods should have used them during the most recent intercourse.
Current users of the pill should be taking pills daily. Other methods provide ongoing protection without a daily or regular action by the woman. Contraceptive injection may have been administered 3-6 months earlier and are still providing protection. An IUD, once inserted, protects against pregnancy for as long as it is effective unless it is removed or expelled. Tubal ligation may provide protection indefinitely unless untied by medical professionals.
Circle 1 if the ER or her partner is currently doing something or using a method to delay or avoid getting pregnant and skip to Question 11. Circle 2 if the ER or her partner is not currently using any method.
Ask this question even though you know that the ER is never married since it is possible for never married women to have pre-marital sex. If the ER reacts negatively to this question, explain to her that she should not be offended since this question is very important in measuring contraceptive prevalence. You may also mention the confidentiality clause.
