7.8 Block VII. Ever-married women age 10 or older
The questions in this block are asked only to women who have ever been married (Q 405, codes 2, 3, or 4) and are age 10 or older (Q 404 ? 10).

7.8.2 Block VII.B. Family planning
This block collects information on the use of different types of family planning (KB) devices/ methods, that is, devices/methods couples use to prevent or delay pregnancy.

Matters related to family planning may be considered private matters by the respondent, and she may be reluctant to discuss this matter. To overcome this feeling, show the respondent that you do not feel embarrassed or awkward to talk about this matter. Ask all the questions in the same way as you ask all the other questions on the form. If she is reluctant in answering any of the questions, the enumerator must assure the respondent that the same questions are being asked to all women in Indonesia.
Note that all questions about contraceptive devices/methods used by men apply to all husbands or former husbands. If the respondent has been married more than once, it does not matter which husband used which device/method.

Question 710: Type of FP device/method last used
The respondent might not always understand what you say in explaining a family planning device/method. In this case, repeat the explanation about this device/method. If she

[p. 128]

still does not understand, explain in another way or with additional information regarding that device/method.
In order for you to be able to do this, the enumerator must have knowledge regarding the family planning devices/methods and must know different names that are used by the local community for a particular device/method.

Like examples below:
Family planning devices/methods -- Popular name

• IUD/AKDR/spiral -- loop (lup), pasang, iyut
• Condom/FP rubber -- kapooces, selongkopan, jaswadi, raincoat, balloon, saron.
• Female sterilization/tubectomy -- medical operation for women (MOW), pemandulan wanita, steril
• Male sterilization/vasectomy -- medical operation for men (MOP, pemandulan pria, steril
• Calendar method/no sex system -- tanggalan (calendar), no sex, fasting.
• Contraceptive implant -- alwalit (acronym for: Alat KB bawah kulit or FP device under the skin)
• Withdrawal -- tubo (metu nang jobo or release outside), semaput (unconscious.)

Female sterilization/tubectomy. There are several operations that can be performed on women that will prevent them from becoming pregnant, that is: by tying/cutting the fallopian tubes, removing the womb or ovaries. An operation to remove the womb or ovary is usually conducted because of some disease and not just to prevent pregnancy. Only those operations performed to prevent a woman from becoming pregnant ever again should be recorded here as sterilization.

Male sterilization/vasectomy is a light operation that is performed on a man with a view to prevent pregnancy.

A FP pill is a pill taken to prevent pregnancy. This FP pill must be taken regularly every day. A woman is using the FP pill if since the last menstruation she takes the FP pill every day. Those who usually take the FP pill, but forgets to take it one day, then the next day she take two FP pills at once, is still considered as using the FP pill.

[p. 129]

IUD/AKDR/spiral are small devices made of fine plastic/copper, in the form of a spiral, T, fan or other shape, placed inside the womb to prevent pregnancy. These devices can be used long term to prevent pregnancy.

Injection is a hormone injection that will slowly flow through the blood stream and is usually given every one to three months to prevent pregnancy. Injections that are given every three months are known by the name of Depo-provera, whereas injections that are given every month are known as Cyclofem. One who has been injected is considered to be using the FP device during the validity period of the injection. If the validity period of the injection has ended, and she has not been injected again, she is considered as no longer using that FP device. Therefore, the respondent is classified as using the injection method of family planning if the respondent was injected within one or three months (depending on which injection method is used) before the enumeration date.

FP implant is a device with rods that is implanted under the skin in the woman's upper arm to prevent pregnancy for one year or more. There are two kinds of implants, that is, Implanon consisting of one rod that is effective for 3 years, and Norplan consisting of six rods that is effective for 5 years. There are two types of new implants; these are Indoplan and Jadena. Both of these implants consist of two rods and are effective for 3 years. Indoplan is available throughout Indonesia whereas Jadena is available in Jakarta, Makasar, Manado, Central Java, East Java, Bali, North Sumatra and South Sumatra.

Condom is a device made from rubber shaped like a balloon which can be used by men during intercourse so that his wife/partner will not become pregnant. If the respondent has used condoms within the last 30 days before the interview, then condoms is recorded as the family planning device used. A couple is considered using a condom if the condom was used every time the couple had sexual intercourse since the last menstruation (she is protected).

Intravag/diaphragm is a family planning device (tissue) that is inserted into the vagina before intercourse. Diaphragm is a family planning device made of soft rubber that is inserted into the vagina to cover the mouth of the womb so that semen cannot enter into the womb and come in contact with the eggs.

[p. 130]

A diaphragm must be used with spermicidal jelly or cream that is used to cover the cervix to prevent the semen from meeting the eggs. A couple is considered using this device/method if the device/method was used every time the couple had sexual intercourse during the last 30 days before the interview.

Natural breastfeeding method is one of the methods to delay/prevent pregnancy by breast feeding the baby up to 6 months after birth so that the menstruation is delayed.

Calendar method is a method based on the understanding that not having sexual intercourse during certain days (the fertile period) of a woman's "monthly" cycle can be used to avoid pregnancy. This is not the same as abstinence, that is: not having intercourse for several months without considering the "monthly" cycle of the woman to avoid pregnancy. To ensure that a woman really understands, emphasize that this method is primarily used only on "certain days of the month". A woman who does not want to have intercourse on certain days (not because of monthly cycle), cannot be considered using the calendar method. Her intention of not having sexual intercourse must be because she does not want to become pregnant. A couple is considered using this method if the method was used during the 30 days before the interview. A person is considered using this method if she believes that since her last menstruation she has only had intercourse during her non-fertile period.

Withdrawal is a method used by men to prevent the semen from entering the womb, that is: by withdrawing the penis before the semen flows out. Withdrawal is the family planning method used if the couple used it during the last 30 days before the interview.

Other is the device/method used if the respondent mentions other traditional methods such as drinking herbs and massage. If so, write the name of the device/method mentioned.

[p. 131]

Clarification:
1. In the interview, the usage of each family planning device/method must be asked one by one completely, because each device/method has a different period of usage and effectiveness.

2. Abortion/suction/terminations is the termination of pregnancy that can be carried out by suction or other methods. Abortion is not considered a device/method of family planning. Another name that some recognize is MR (menstrual regulation).

3. If the respondent uses the calendar method and uses a condom or the withdrawal method during the fertile period, then the family planning method used is the calendar method (traditional method).
