For a considerable portion of the intervention period, no readings were transferred, possibly indicating technical problems with the transfer link. A comparison of costs suggests that at least 52.6% of eligible patients would need to self-screen in order to bring costs below that of screening by GPs and practice nurses. Qualitative interviews confirmed that both patients and staff experienced technical difficulties, and used alternative methods to enter BP results into the medical record.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>While interviewees were generally positive about checking BP in the waiting room, the electronic transfer system as tested was neither robust, effective nor likely to be a cost-effective approach, thus may not be appropriate for a primary care environment. Since most of the cost of a kiosk system lies in the transfer mechanism, a solid-cuff sphygmomanometer and manual entry of results may be a suitable alternative.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2018-027986","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,30]],"date-time":"2019-05-30T10:35:21Z","timestamp":1559212521000},"page":"e027986","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Mixed-methods feasibility study of blood pressure self-screening for hypertension detection"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Alice","family":"Tompson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7205-2051","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susannah","family":"Fleming","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mei-Man","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Monahan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sue","family":"Jowett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David","family":"McCartney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sheila","family":"Greenfield","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1009-1992","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carl","family":"Heneghan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alison","family":"Ward","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Hobbs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3638-028X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Richard J","family":"McManus","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020050713491276000_9.5.e027986.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(16)31679-8"},{"key":"2020050713491276000_9.5.e027986.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmj.b1665"},{"key":"2020050713491276000_9.5.e027986.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamacardio.2017.1421"},{"key":"2020050713491276000_9.5.e027986.4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMoa0907355"},{"key":"2020050713491276000_9.5.e027986.5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/S0007114514003341"},{"key":"2020050713491276000_9.5.e027986.6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.hjh.0000199800.72563.26"},{"key":"2020050713491276000_9.5.e027986.7","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S131","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amepre.2017.06.020","article-title":"Cost-effectiveness Analyses of Antihypertensive Medicines: A Systematic Review","volume":"53","author":"Park","year":"2017","journal-title":"Am J Prev Med"},{"key":"2020050713491276000_9.5.e027986.8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S121","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amepre.2017.05.008","article-title":"A Systematic Review of Economic Evidence on Community Hypertension Interventions","volume":"53","author":"Zhang","year":"2017","journal-title":"Am J Prev Med"},{"key":"2020050713491276000_9.5.e027986.9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.7326\/M14-1539"},{"key":"2020050713491276000_9.5.e027986.10","unstructured":"National Institute for Health and Care Excellence.
