Questions and instructions

Literal question
101A) During the interview I would like to measure your blood pressure. This will be done three times during the interview. This is a harmless procedure. It is used to find out if a person has high blood pressure. If it is 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 interview together with an explanation of the meaning of your blood pressure numbers. 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.

Do you have any questions about the blood pressure measurement so far? If you have any questions about the procedure at any time, please ask me.

You can say yes or no to having the blood pressure measurement now.
You can also decide at any time not to participate in the blood pressure measures.

Would you allow me to proceed to take your blood pressure measurement at this time?
