this information is all completely private and anonymous and cannot be linked to you or any partner in any way.

Interviewer instructions

This question is only asked to respondents of reproductive age who had sex in the last 12 months. This question aims to ascertain whether the respondent had sex with more than one partner in the last year. It is especially important for the interviewer to maintain a good rapport with the respondent, as some respondents may be reluctant to discuss their sexual activities.
