Personnel and Training Required
The interviewer must be trained to conduct personal interviews with individuals from the general population. The interviewer must be trained and found to be competent (i.e., tested by an expert) at the completion of personal interviews. The interviewer should be trained to prompt participants further if a "don’t know" response is provided.
Equipment Needs
If a computer-assisted instrument is used, computer software may be necessary to develop the instrument. The interviewer will require a laptop computer/handheld computer to administer a computer-assisted questionnaire.
Requirements
| Requirement Category | Required |
|---|---|
| Major equipment | No |
| Specialized training | No |
| Specialized requirements for biospecimen collection | No |
| Average time of greater than 15 minutes in an unaffected individual | No |
Mode of Administration
Interviewer-administered questionnaire
Lifestage
Adolescent, Adult
Participants
The National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) sample represents the household population of the United States, 15-44 years of age.
Selection Rationale

Process and Review
The Expert Review Panel #5 (ERP 5) reviewed the measures in the Reproductive Health domain.
Guidance from ERP 5 includes:
· Changed the name of the measure
· Replaced protocol
· New Data Dictionary
Back-compatible: The original protocol from the National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) 2003 Cycle 6, Womens Health Initiative 1998, and LIFE Study was updated to NSFG 2013-2015. The new protocol is a single source and includes more current contraceptive methods. There are changes to the Data Dictionary, previous version of the Data Dictionary and Variable mapping in Toolkit archive (http://www.phenxtoolkit.org/domains/view/100000#tab5content)
