Interviewer instructions
When asking this question, mention the current method the respondent is currently using (reported in Question 11). For example, if her partner is currently using condoms with her, ask 'Where did you last go to get condoms?' If she says her husband or someone else got them for her, ask if she knows where he got them. If the method required a prescription, this question pertains to where the prescription was filled. Circle the major source of the family planning supply which are described below.
11 A government hospital is an institution run by the government.
12 A Rural Health Unit (RHU) is a field health unit of the DOH providing or making accessible, under the direct supervision of at least one physician, the basic health services for a municipality. In the National Capital Region (NCR), all health centers are classified as RHUs.
13 A Barangay Health Station (BHS) is a peripheral health facility that delivers basic health services to a barangay with an estimated population of 5,000 and usually staffed by a midwife.
14 A Barangay Supply/Service Point Officer (BSPO) is a volunteer worker selected from among barangay residents, who supplies condoms and resupplies pills in the barangay. (BSPOs provide only resupply of pills and not initial supply). The BSPO may also serve other roles. For instance, the BSPO may also serve as a Barangay Health Worker (BHW) working with the Rural Health Unit (RHU) or be a barangay nutrition scholar of the National Nutrition Council (NNC). If the respondent received her supply of pills or condoms from one of these public sector volunteers, the source of supply should be coded using the Barangay Supply/Service Point Officer/BHW category (code14).
21 A private hospital or clinic is a hospital or clinic which is privately owned.
22 A private doctor is a doctor who is practicing on his own, and not located within a larger facility.
23 A private midwife is a licensed midwife who provides contraceptive supplies for a fee or donation, independently of any hospital or clinic. If the midwife works in a hospital or clinic, record the name of the hospital or clinic and determine if it is public, private or NGO. Record private midwife only if the midwife has her own private practice, which is not located within a hospital or clinic (public, private or NGO). A private midwife may work out of her home.
24 A pharmacy is a commercial establishment, typically independent of a hospital or clinic, where medicines are offered for retail sale. Mercury Drug is an example of pharmacy.
25 A store is a commercial establishment, where diversified goods (as opposed to simply medicines) are kept for retail sale. Seven - Eleven is an example of a store.
26 An NGO is a non-government organization providing general family planning services. It is an organization that is neither public (that is, run by a government) nor for profit as in private. An NGO may or may not operate a clinic. Aside from its paid family planning service providers, an NGO typically has a network of community-based volunteer distributors, consisting of doctors, nurses, midwives and non-medical personnel (such as housewives) who may be a source of supply for contraceptives. These volunteers may or may not charge a fee. They may also operate at a great distance from the offices or clinic of the NGO for which they work. The three largest NGOs are commonly known by their acronyms, IMCH (Institute of Maternal and Child Health), IMCCSDI (Integrated Maternal Child Care Services and Development, Inc.), and FPOP (Family Planning Organization of the Philippines). The logos of these three are shown in Appendix H. Both NGO clinics and NGO volunteers should be classified as NGO. A list of NGOs affiliated with the Philippine NGO Council on Population Health and Welfare and their geographic coverage are shown in Appendix G.
It may at times be difficult to determine if a volunteer is a BSPO/BHW or an NGO volunteer. If you are having difficulty deciding, knowing something about the supply itself can be helpful. Ask to see the package if the supply are pills or condoms. If the pills are Lo Gentrol or the condoms have no brand name, assume that the volunteer is working for a government. If the pills are any brand name other than Lo Gentrol or if the condoms have any brand name, the volunteer is providing private sector supplies and is almost certainly an NGO volunteer. If you cannot determine whether the volunteer is a BSPO/BHW or an NGO, classify this source of supply as 'BSPO/BHW'.
27 An industry-based clinic is a clinic managed by an agricultural or other industrial company, typically for the benefit of its employees and their dependents. For example, Goodyear provides a clinic for its employees.
31 A puericulture center is a facility where either public or private suppliers may operate. Ask a probing question to see if you can determine whether or not the supplier is public, private or NGO. Use this category only if you cannot classify the supplier in one of the other categories for public or private suppliers.
32 A church is a religious organization.
33 A friend or relative
34 Other. Use this category only if you cannot classify the suppliers in the above categories. Specify the name of supplier in the space provided.
Record the name of the facility in the space provided and circle appropriate code. If the source was a private doctor, a private midwife, a field worker, or a friend or a relative, you do not need to record that person's name on the space provided for the name of the facility. Similarly, if the source was a store, you do not need to record the name of the store.
If the source of method is a facility, probe whether the facility is public (that is if run by the government), or private. If the supplier is an individual, you will need to determine if the individual works independently or for a health facility. For example, if the woman reported that she got her pills from a doctor, probe whether the doctor works within a hospital or clinic or is a private doctor with his/her own office not located within the hospital or other health facility. Ask the ER where the doctor's office is located. Ask the ER for the name of the hospital or clinic and whether it is a government hospital or a private hospital or clinic. Record private doctor only if the doctor is practicing on his own, which is not located within a larger facility. If the ER does not know whether the hospital is governmental or private, write in the blank provided the name of the hospital and inform your supervisor after you have completed the interview. Your supervisor will have to find out what type of facility it is from other people in the area.
Also for example, if the ER tells you that she got her pills from a midwife, ask her where the midwife works. If the midwife works for a hospital or clinic, you should ask for the name of the hospital or clinic and whether it is run by the government or is privately owned. If the midwife works from home, she would be classified as a private midwife.
