Interviewer instructions
For women who are not currently using a contraceptive method (Code '2' in Question 9), ask the reason why she is not currently using a method and skip to Question 15. If more than one reason is given, probe to get the major reason for not using any method of contraception. Circle the code for major reason, which are describe below, for not using any family planning method.
01 Wants children means that the woman is not currently using a family planning method because she wants to have children.
02 Side effects are any undesirable consequence of using a family planning method that results in a decision not to use any family planning method. Side effects must be actually experienced and directly attributable to the use of a family planning method. They may or may not have an adverse effect on the health of the user. For example, side effects may be spotting or bleeding with the use of the pill.
03 Lack of knowledge means that the woman does not know any family planning method to use.
04 Health concerns are any concern or worry about the possibility of undesirable consequences affecting one's health that leads to a decision not to use any family planning method. The cause of these health concerns may be anything from sound, individual medical advice to hearsay or rumor concerning any family planning method.
05 Inconvenient to use means that the method is troublesome to use. For example, because it interferes with sex or is troublesome to remember to take a pill everyday, or the method is just messy to use.
06 Opposed to family planning refers to the condition that the woman or her partner is against the use of family planning methods.
07 Prohibited by religion refers to the condition that the woman or her partner's religion prohibits them to use any family planning method. For example, the woman is not using any family planning method because her family is a Catholic, and Catholics, according to her, should not use family planning methods.
08 Fatalistic (Bahala na) may be considered as a response if the woman or her partner believes that these matters are not in their realm of control.
09 Costs too much means that the woman considers the method/service to be too expensive.
10 Hard to get method means that the method is not always available or that the source of supply is difficult to get to.
11 Menopausal/had hysterectomy. Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of all or part of the uterus. A woman who has had a hysterectomy is unable to become pregnant, and therefore does not need to use contraception in order to avoid pregnancy. Because the operation is usually not performed for contraceptive purposes, we will consider a woman with a hysterectomy as similar to a woman in menopause or no longer menstruating because her menstrual cycle has completely stopped. Therefore, if the woman is in menopausal stage or if she had hysterectomy, circle 11.
12 Old/difficult to get pregnant. The condition that the woman considers herself as old (but not at menopausal stage) or difficult to get pregnant (because of some problems in the woman's or her partner's reproductive system, for instance).
13 Infrequent sex/husband away. Another reason for not using any family planning method may be attributed to infrequent sex which may be due to the partner's sickness or the partner is away, for instance.
14 Amenorrheic. If the ER has just given birth and is not currently using a method and her menstrual period has not returned yet (amenorrheic), circle 14. However, if an amenorrheic woman has resumed sex and is already using a family planning method to ensure that she would not get pregnant before her period returns, report her as currently using a method in Question 11.
15 Not married/not sexually active refers to women who are not using any family planning method because they are not sexually active, or never married and not engaged in any sexual activity. A woman who is single but sexually active and not using any family planning method should have a reason for not using any contraceptive method other than the reason coded 15.
01 Wants children means that the woman is not currently using a family planning method because she wants to have children.
02 Side effects are any undesirable consequence of using a family planning method that results in a decision not to use any family planning method. Side effects must be actually experienced and directly attributable to the use of a family planning method. They may or may not have an adverse effect on the health of the user. For example, side effects may be spotting or bleeding with the use of the pill.
