Text: I would now like to measure your height. The height measurement can help predict the nutritional status, performance, health and survival of a population and can be used to determine public health policies. To complete this measure I would need you to take off your shoes and stand up against a measuring rod. I'll then lower a plate to the top of your head to read the measurement.
