Detailed Description

The survey is a screening project for hypertension, which will enroll subjects at the barbershops. The Metline Township (located at Bizerte Town, in the north of Tunisia) will be the geographical area of population enrollment. Barbershops hairdressers will be trained by a medical staff to measure the blood pressure by an ambulatory device.
