Knowledge of contraceptive methods-Codebook [message #5639]

Hello,

I am using Buskina Faso's 2010 female survey. The dataset has 20 binary variables (v304_01 to v304_20), each labeled as "knows method". I wasn't able to match the methods listed on the survey questionnaire to these variables in the dataset.
The questionnaire-in french- lists only 13 possibles methods rather than 20, and the question is number 301 rather than 304.
Does anyone know how to decode these variables and figure out the methods they refer to?

Thank you in advance!
