Notes

Source of information for users of traditional methods. Codes are country specific.
For countries using the model "A" questionnaire, the respondent is asked whether she visited a source to obtain a method to avoid pregnancy or instructions for using periodic abstinence in the last twelve months, irrespective of which traditional method the respondent is currently using. If the response was "No" code 0 "Did not visit source" was used. If the response was "Yes" the source for the method was recorded. Note that the source does not relate to the traditional method currently being used, but to the last source visited to obtain any method or instruction in the last twelve months. For countries using the Model “B” questionnaire, the variable contains the source of instruction for periodic abstinence users only.
