Following is a response from Senior DHS Specialist, Kerry MacQuarrie:
As you may notice from the questionnaire in the appendix of the 2015-16 Tanzania DHS Final Report (specifically p.565), the DHS does not distinguish between side effects/health concerns, what those side effects or concerns may be, or whether it is experience or fear of side effects/health concerns that is the reason for discontinuation. This is standard in DHS-7 surveys.
There is one change in the standard DHS-8 questionnaire that will apply to future surveys: "changes in menstrual bleeding" will be separated out from "other side effects/health concerns".
