Questions and instructions
Literal question
As part of your antenatal care, were any of the following done at least once?
Was your blood pressure measured?
Interviewer instructions
Circle '1' for 'Yes', or '2' for 'No'. We want to know this procedure was performed during any of the antenatal checkups during her last pregnancy. It does not matter if they were performed only once or more than once, or performed in the same visit or spread over several visits.
Blood pressure is measured with a medical instrument. A rubber cuff is wrapped around a person's upper arm and is inflated. While slowly releasing air from the cuff, the person measuring the blood pressure listens to the pulsing of the blood vessels with a stethoscope to determine the pressure.
