Question pretext

First I would like to measure your blood pressure and pulse rate. Stay seated, and once I put this on your wrist keep it steady and at the level of your heart. We will need to take the blood pressure reading three times. It will squeeze your wrist a bit, but won't hurt. Relax.

INTERVIEWER: respondent should remain seated. Demonstrate to the respondent how to hold their arm while the machine is measuring. Place the monitoring device on the wrist and have the respondent hold it at heart level against his/her chest. When the device is in the correct position and respondent is relaxed, press the button to start. Check to make sure it is working. Collect the blood pressure and pulse 3 times with one minute between each measurement. You do not need to remove the device between measurements.

Before we ask you more questions, this time about your own health and well-being, we would like to measure a few things, like your blood pressure, your weight and height. We'll also ask you to participate in a few tests to determine your health status.
