Questions and instructions

Literal question
101A) During this interview, I would like to take your blood pressure. I will take your blood pressure three times during this interview.

There is no danger to the procedure. It is done to see if a person suffers from hypertension. Without treatment, hypertension can cause serious damage to the heart.

The results of the blood pressure test will be given at the end of the interview along with an explanation of your blood pressure results. If you have high blood pressure, given that we cannot perform further testing to give you proper treatment during the survey, we will advise you to consult a health care facility or a doctor.

Do you have any questions about the blood pressure test? If at any point you have questions, you may ask them to me.

You can say yes, or you can say no to the blood pressure test now. You can also decide to stop this blood pressure testing at any time.

Will you allow me to take your blood pressure now?
