Interviewer instructions

In this question, we want to know the relationship of the respondent to the person with whom she last had sex. If the man is 'Boyfriend or fiancé', ask: "WAS YOUR BOYFRIEND/FIANCÉ LIVING WITH YOU WHEN YOU LAST HAD SEX?" If 'Yes', circle '1' for 'Spouse/cohabiting partner' and skip to SB6. If 'No', circle '2' and continue with the next question. Note that we are interested in the relationship of the woman with the person mentioned at the time they last engaged in sexual intercourse. For example, if a woman's last partner was a boyfriend she was living with at the time, you would record 'Spouse/cohabiting partner' even though they are no longer living together. They were living together at the time of the sexual encounter. Record the status of the relationship that existed at the time the two people last had sexual intercourse. It is most important to determine whether or not the sexual partner was someone the respondent was living with at the time they last had sexual intercourse.

Question post text

If 'yes', circle 1. If 'no', circle 2.
