“…À cet égard, le rapprochement géographique entre les lieux de collecte et les lieux fréquentés par les donneurs revient fréquemment dans les recommandations pour améliorer le recrutement, la rétention et l'expérience du don, tout comme il a été démontré que cette proximité influence les proportions de donneurs potentiels ( Grubesic, 2000 ;Schreiber et al, 2006). La mise sur pied de collectes mobiles sur les lieux de travail est l'exemple typique de cette volonté de réduire les distances (Piliavin et Callero, 1991 ;Nguyen et al, 2008).…”

“…Glynn et al (2006) suggest that among Blacks, the main motivations for giving blood in the United States were social responsibility, receiving a request to give blood, and getting a health check. Schreiber et al (2006), Hollingsworth and Wildman (2004), as well as Nguyen et al (2008), agree that a higher than average number of Black donors complain about the way they are received at blood drives. Some authors have mentioned that those born overseas and new immigrants might not feel sufficiently integrated in their host countries to feel the need to participate in a 'citizen' activity of this type (Hollingworth and Wildman 2004).…”

The Paradoxical Situation of Blood Donation in the Haitian-Quebec Community

Blood donation involves precise regulations aiming to protect donors and recipients. At the beginning of the 1980's, thousands of Canadians were infected with HIV and Hepatitis C. To prevent the contamination of blood products, health authorities asked Haitians, among other groups, to voluntarily refrain from giving blood. Witness testimonies at the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Blood System in Canada (Krever Commission) show how profoundly affected Haitians were by these events. Today, we know that it is preferable to use phenotyped blood from the same community as the donor in the case of certain diseases. Increasing blood donation from the Black community is believed to be the best way to find donors who will be compatible with patients suffering from sickle-cell disease. Blood supply agencies such as Héma-Québec are seeking to convince Haitians to give blood in greater numbers. However, this task represents a great challenge, since, less than one generation ago, authorities asked that Haitians voluntarily abstain from donating blood. This paradoxical situation inspired the present analysis. Through the conceptual lens of a constructivist approach to ethnicity, this case study draws on a number of sources. By retracing the history of this community and the major events that have affected it over the decades, we are brought to a better understanding of the perceptions and realities of the Haitian community in Montreal with regard to blood donation. Our analyses show that even if Haitian-Quebec leaders are positively disposed towards blood donation, our results also expose that past events of the 1980's have not been forgotten. Even if many are now willing to give blood to meet specific medical needs, for some, this could also contradict the usual universalist and altruistic message of blood donation. This case study highlights the importance of examining what happens at the relational boundary between minority and majority groups: after all, these events also contribute to redefining them. RésuméLe don de sang au Québec est encadré par des règles définies pour protéger les donneurs et ceux qui doivent subir une transfusion sanguine. Au début des années 1980, des milliers de Canadiens seront infectés par le VIH et l'Hépatite C. Pour prévenir la contamination des produits sanguins, les autorités sanitaires ont invité certains groupes, dont les Haïtiens, à s'abstenir volontairement de donner du sang. Les témoignages à la Commission d'enquête sur l'approvisionnement en sang au Canada (Commission Krever) ont montré à quel point les Haïtiens-Québécois en ont été affectés. Aujourd'hui, on sait qu'il est préférable d'utiliser le sang phénotypé qui provient de la même communauté que le donneur dans le cas de certaines maladies. Par exemple, l'augmentation de dons de sang de la communauté noire serait la meilleure façon de trouver des donneurs compatibles avec les patients atteints d'anémie falciforme. Convaincre les Haïtiens de donner du sang en plus grand nombre semble pourtant un véritable défi du fait q...

“…A visible minority is defined by the Canadian government as persons other than aboriginal peoples, who are non-Caucasian in race or non-white in colour. The number of donors is generally lower among persons from minority ethnic groups than in the majority population [13][14][15][16] . For example, in the United States, African American donors represent 6.5 percent of the total blood pool donor, while African American account for 13 percent of the population [3] .…”
