Description

Definition

FPKNORHYMN (MV304_08) indicates whether the man knows about the rhythm method or periodic abstinence as a method for family planning. Some samples differentiate between spontaneous and probed affirmative responses; see Comparability. In probing questions, the rhythm method or period abstinence is often described by the following text:

To avoid pregnancy, women do not have sexual intercourse on the days of the month they think they can get pregnant.
