Declarations
:
: We obtained written informed consent for persons aged 18 to 25 years and written informed assent for those aged 12 to 17 years before taking their blood pressure measurements. In addition, the parents/guardians of the minors (< 18 years) provided written informed consent before participation. We did not capture any personal identifiers. We obtained permission to use the secondary data from the district health officers of Kasese and Kabarole districts and the directors of the respective health facilities. In addition, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Center for Global Health determined our study was nonresearch whose primary intention was to address public health problems. The data were stored in password-protected computers and data was not shared with anyone outside the investigation team.
