The quality control procedure includes the following elements: initial extensive training; quarterly re-certification by an expert consultant during field visits; a quality assurance plan including a procedural checklist; and continuous review of the data for systematic error. The first recertification for the blood pressure component was conducted six months after the start of NHANES 1999; quarterly recertification training has been conducted since that time. Please refer to the NHANES Physician Examination Procedures Manual (National Center for Health Statistics, 2000) for more detailed information about the blood pressure protocol.
