Eligibility • Questions are asked of all women aged 15-49 years in the household MICS4 Survey Design Workshop

Methodological Issues (1) • Position of this module is important • Sexual behavior module should be asked after marriage/union module so rapport is built but before HIV module to avoid biasing responses • Interviews must be conducted in private • Must assure respondent that answers are completely confidential MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
Methodological Issues (2) • Most of the indicators derived from this module are dependent on each other; care should be taken not to delete questions that contribute to the calculation of related indicators • Trends in indicators can also be obtained by comparing age cohorts (15-19, 20-24, 25-29…) if only one data point exists MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
Summary of Module • Age at sexual debut • Higher-risk sexual partnerships • Condom use during higher-risk sex • Age of sexual partners • Number of recent sexual partners • Number of lifetime sexual partners MICS4 Survey Design Workshop
