A Peer-to-Peer Campaign to Promote Organ Donation Among Racially Diverse College Students in New York City

摘要

Due to the documented disparities in organ transplantation, individuals from racially diverse backgrounds are encouraged to register as donors and communicate their donation intentions to family. The present study reports an intervention aimed at addressing students' fears and misconceptions related to organ transplantation on college campuses with racially diverse student enrollments. The intervention uses peer-to-peer campaigns at colleges in New York City in an attempt to increase declarations of intent to donate and to educate students about transplantation.
