Since your interview on [date of last interview], have you been told by a doctor, nurse, or therapist that you had high blood pressure?
Value | Coding |
---|---|
0 | No history of hypertension |
1 | History of hypertension - Reported prior to or in the given cycle |
Notes: At baseline interview, the question reads: Have you ever been told by a doctor, nurse, or therapist that you had high blood pressure?
