Literal question

ADULT RESPONDENT CONSENT FOR BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT

313. ASK CONSENT FOR BLOOD PRESSURE FROM RESPONDENT.
I would like to measure your blood pressure. This will be done three times, with an interval of about five minutes between measurements. This is a harmless procedure. Blood pressure measurement is used to find out if a person has high blood pressure. If not treated, high blood pressure may eventually cause serious damage to the heart.
The results of this blood pressure measurement will be given to you after the measurement process is completed. The results of blood pressure measurement will be explained to you. If your blood pressure is high, we will suggest that you consult a health facility or doctor since we cannot provide any further testing or treatment during the survey. You can also decide at any time not to participate in the blood pressure measurement. The result will be kept strictly confidential and will not be shared with anyone other than members of our survey team.
Do you have any questions?
You can say yes to the test or you can say no. It is up to you to decide.
Will you allow me to measure your blood pressure?
