Interviewer instructions
This question is only asked to respondents of reproductive age who had sex in the last 12 months. This question asks about the respondent's relationship with the last sexual partner. The interviewer should first ask what is the relationship with the partner and allow the respondent to define in his/her own words. If the respondent is unsure, prompt by reading out the categories.
